I planned to open a thread in the CC support forum for this, but since you're here...

I bought CC in the first place as a tool I could run on device that might let me examine what was on my device, in the same way I can run Calibre on the desktop to see what is on it. The inherent limitation is that CC doesn't see stuff transferred by cable, and most of mine is.

I've found and am examining the FAQ you linked to. I tried setting Cloud Connection to point to a local library. On my device, that's /sdcard/Books. It doesn't work because there isn't a valid metadata.db file, which is what I expected.

CC is still useful as an alternate way of getting Calibre content on device and working for that purpose.

But I'd still like to find a program that can read the existing Calibre metadata and display what I have on the device. Are you aware of one?

Thanks in advance for any advice you might offer.
