It's not horrible if you only have a few books but it is indeed a nasty surprise if you have hundreds, or worse, thousands of books in your collection or you simply don't want the device cluttered with books you've already read. It just doesn't work. If you desire any semblance of order or organization that differs from what's on Reader for PC, manual is the only way to go.

As soon as you start checking & unchecking stuff to sync to the reader it will mess up whatever way you've got your books organized on the reader and even remove some you wanted on the reader and put ones on that you didn't. Synchronize means to make the two the same and that's what the program does.
Yes, it is true that if you run Sync with only some of the boxes checked, items in the other categories will disappear from your reader. I discovered this by mistake early on - fortunately I didn't have much on the reader yet! I always check all before running Sync.
