Not quite sure what you mean by "reading to another source", but you can
obtain all the EContact objects from an address book with
e_book_client_get_contacts().
You'll want to pass an S-expression query that just matches everything.
I believe the way to do so is:
book_query = e_book_query_any_field_contains ("");
sexp_string = e_book_query_to_string (book_query);
e_book_client_get_contacts (client, sexp_string, ...);
The query syntax is not very well documented. I gleaned the example
above from Evolution code. I can try to elaborate further if needed.
