Hi.

I don't have a Cruz but I take books out from the library often so I will to explain what I do. Hopefully, these steps work the same with the Cruz as with my ereader. First, I will assume that there is some type of software that allows you to read ebooks on the tablet. I do not have to be online to read books from the library and I do not have to have Adobe Digital Editions installed on my ereader. I DO have to have Adobe Digital Editions on my PC.

From my PC, I download a book I have checked out from the library. During the download, Adobe Digital Editions opens and the book appears. The EPUB file is now located on my PC in My Documents/My Digital Editions. I close Adobe Digital Editions and start Calibre. I choose Add Books, navigate to My Computer/My Digital Editions, and select the book I just checked out. I use Calibre to convert the book from EPUB to EPUB to set some formatting that I prefer on my ereader. I then connect my ereader to the PC with the USB cable (my ereader does not have wireless, I assume if I had wireless I could do this part without needing the USB cable) and choose Send to Device. The book is now on my ereader and also still on my hard drive. I can read it without being online (since my reader can't even go online) and I don't have Adobe Digital Editions installed on the ereader, but I do have Adobe Digital Editions installed on my PC.

I hope that wasn't too confusing and that it helps. If my steps are incorrect for your device, I am sure someone who has more knowledge can correct any mistakes I've made.
