This may (or may not) work for EPUB and usually doesn't work for the other formats.
If you download a book with CC then later replace the book file with something new downloaded via USB then CC will "see" the old metadata but the book reader app will see the new book file.
Again, I am not sure what you are doing and what isn't intuitive.
If you are referring to where CC stores book files then the answer is "where you told it to in CC's settings, with the default being the folder "Calibre_Companion" in main memory unless you are using an Amazon device in which case the default is "Books".
If you are referring to something else then could you tell me what it is?

Not a problem. What I meant was if I use a USB and try and have Calibre manage my device, after about 5 minutes, it just stops. Since I never had that problem when I had a normal amount of books on my device, I assume it is the sheer number, which is over 10,000. And the fact that it hangs during the "reading books on device" stage. I use Calibre, not the Amazon cloud, to manage my books, and prefer to select a book right on CC and hit read. They get on CC during the once a month I connect via content server, It is working like a dream, and sorry for saying it wasn't intuitive. I don't remember the problem that lead to that snarky comment.
