P.S. Not sure this is smarter but I imagine I can always connect my device to my PC, where I keep my library and update that way. Sorry, dealing with flu and sleepy brain cells.

What you probably want to do is "mirror" your calibre library onto the SD card. If done with good software the mirror process copies only changed files so updates are usually fast.
There are lots of options for doing this.
- One is doing what you suggested, putting the SD card into your PC (implies a card reader) then using a sync program to update the card. There are lots of sync programs: freefilesync (watch out for bloatware install), goodsync, synctoy, and so on.
- Another is to leave the SD card in the phone and mirror over USB.
- A third is to use sync SW that works over WiFi. I don't know much about these apps. I also am not sure how this improves upon CC's wireless device connection.
