I suspect that something on the calibre side is borking the epub when it is created to be copied. When sending via a device, calibre creates a new copy, applies plugboards and cover changes, embeds new metadata, then hands it to the device driver (the wireless device). Do you use any plugins that could get in the middle of that, such as an epub metadata writer?

Good hypothesis, if it is calibre side, then leaving out cc and using a device browser to fetch from calibre should show the same corruption
I can't type the URL syntax for that test from memory,. But it is easily found.
