Sounds simple but once before I destroyed my database trying to change stuff. I will always add new books to Calibre on PC as normal, but then can use CC to put them on my tablet.

I will hold off until I get an answer, hopefully from a couple experts. I'm too old to screw this up again.
I would suggest generating a catalog in calibre and then transferring it to your tablet. Use that catalog to check a book before you borrow it from KU or repurchase it.
