It is true that HarryT answered my post, and I truly appreciate that, but it is also true that, knowing he was talking to an absolute beginner, a bit more direction/information would have been useful. I base this on how I would behave and it is, of course, just my opinion.
This said, thank you so much for all the information you share with me! I have been playing with Marvin but I find it a bit confusing. Also, I haven't been able to find a decent manual for it. Finally, it looks like there are glitches that require attention. For example, when I highlight a passage I am unable to delete the highlight. I will try some of the other ones you mention (I am also testing Bluefire).
All of this takes me to a final question (well, for now at least!) All of these readers seem to have ways of importing and syncing books independently, and building libraries in the cloud. So, given that CC is not a reader, what is its use? What can I do with CC that I cannot do without? ... It may sound weird to somebody like you with a lot of experience, but that's really not clear to me...
Best wishes,
A

CC exists to simplify the transfer of content from calibre to either an Android Tablet or an iPad. It has two distinct modes of operation.
One as a Wireless Device which when connected to calibre on your computer allows you to "push" content from your computer to your tablet, and in fact to fully manage content transferred via calibre and CC to your tablet.
The second is to connect to the calibre server on your computer and "pull" content from your calibre to your tablet.
Once content is on your tablet you're able to browse the transferred content and select a book to read which then launches the appropriate application on the tablet.
