CC maintains its own DB as it transfers (CS) /receives (wdc)
CC is more complex, with mull metadata and covers
metadata.calibre contains full metadata as well (although obviously, no covers). Requires a lot of RAM, though. I once tried sending ~5K books to SD card and Calibre Portable (32-bit Windows 7) just crashed repeatedly. Haven't tried yet on 64-bit Windows.
