CC is more complex, with mull metadata and covers

I'm closer to where I'd like to be. I told CC where books live on the device I'm currently dealing with. I can start Calibre Content Server, connect to it via Wifi from the device, and select and download volumes to device from CC.
Disconnect, run FBReader, and it sees the new volumes in the directory where I configured it to look for books.
Plug the device into the desktop via USB cable, run Calibre, and it rescans and sees the volumes on device I added through CC.
I can live with that, though I'd still like to have a tool that will show me what all is on the device in the same way Calibre on the desktop can show what's in the master library.
CC appears to to that for stuff it transfers, but the vast majority of volumes on any of my devices get there through either USB cable or popping out the external microSD card, putting it in an adapter, and using Connect to Folder to add volumes, then putting the card back in the device and telling FReader to rescan so it sees them. That's simply the fastest way to do it, and I'm not changing that workflow.
