I just put ebooks onto the Kindle with Calibre. Then I tag the ebooks as "OnReader" in Calibre, and delete them on the Kindle itself when I actually have read them. Then I change te OnReader tag to Read in Calibre, and I remove everything in the Documents-folder before I load new books.

Well, except this is a Kindle sub-forum and there's probably few B&N, Kobo, Onyx, Bookeen and other reader owners digging down this thread for advice.

Once again, you're feelings about Amazon and the Kindle are well known and using excuses for that attitude doesn't justify the hate.

I feel sorry for you because you just don't get it.

If Calibre's options are modified so it no longer creates a subdirectory, for the Kindle, does Calibre add any files when adding the eBook that do not get deleted when using the Kindle's delete function?

Sending a mobi file on my Paperwhite:
A folder title.sdr is created which contains title.apnx. That file is replaced with title.mpb1 and title.mbs once the book is opened.

After deleting, title.sdr is left containing the files title.mpb1 and title.mbs

With azw3, the same folder is created. After deleting the book, you're left with title.azw3f and title.azw3r.

Depending on the book and what features it has, x-ray for example, there may be other files left.

Why bother? If you sideload files, it means that you connect the Kindle to the computer. Just clean out the Documents folder once in a while.
