Delete read books automatically in Kindle Reader

noerd77 · 12-17-2012, 02:11 AM

Hello to all,

i have a idea and want to know if this is possible to install in Calibre.
First i have to tell, that i own a Kindle Keyboard Reader and i have all my books in collections. When i have finished a book i put it in the "finished reading"-collection.
No comes my idea:
Is it possible to set Calibre the way, that Calibre can mark the "finished reading" books in the Calibre-library as read and than delete them automatically in the Kindle-collection "finished reading"?
I use the plugin for Kindle-collections and import always the collections into Calibre and they appear than in Calibre in the column "Kindle Collections". So in Calibre i can see always which book in which collection on my Kindle is. Even when the Reader is not combined with my computer.
How can i set an option that Calibre automatically delete all the books in this collection on my Kindle? I mean only on my Kindle

If this is possible, it would be great.

Moved to Plugins. Appears to be device,plugin specific.

IMHO you are asking the plugin to make an awful lot of decisions for you.
1) Keep track of the titles original collection membership and remove that entry when that changes.
2) handle the edge case where a different Calibre installation set the OLD collection status.
