It would be great to just use one of the 3rd party Calibre apps and load the data from the Content Server into one of those apps. For sure failure-prone, but that could be a way I thought.
IMHO the middleman (edit the cloud copy) method is fraught with additional sync issues.
My suggestion was to Use your Calibre host (with good security precautions).
Your issue is you want to make changes from the remote (device).
Have you considered Remote control of your PC (Remote desktop connection if you have (any) Windows Pro version. FREE Clients other OS)
