It's really not that time consuming. Using CC to connect to Calibre as a wireless device and selecting the books to send to the device are all you have to do. CC will transfer everything over for you without any other work on your part.

It's been a while, but I don't recall sending 500 books to take all that long. I had about 4,000 at the time and did them in batches of 500 and the entire process for all 4,000 books wasn't what I considered lengthy.


EDIT: I decided to test it out. Sending 500 books to an empty install of CC took me just over 9 minutes (including launching Calibre and turning on the wireless connection). In my case I specified that Calibre only send ePub as I have some books in multiple formats.
