Removing books from device

jayhjay · 12-08-2010, 04:38 PM

I am sure this is a very stupid question, but is there a way to remove books from a device (nook) short of just deleting it out of the device folder on my computer? I know there is a "send to device" function in Calibre, but is there a reverse feature to take a book back off (aside from deleting it completely from Calibre)? I want to keep the books, I just don't need so many on my nook at once.

Thanks!

Select the book in the device view and click the delete button (or hit the delete key on your keyboard).

I don't know whether this will work on the Nook, but for my Kindle and Sony, you can press delete when viewing a book on the device and the book is deleted from the device.

OR

In the Library view:
Right-click
At the bottom is Delete...

One of the choices is Delete from device.
This is useful for deleting Unwanted duplicates or extra formats.
Note: UN-TICK the books you want to KEEP on the device.

When I right click and select Remove books, my bottom choice is remove matching book from device. Does this only remove the book from my nook and leave it on Calibre? Or does it remove it from both?

If iYou choose the "From device.." entry, then that is what it will do, ONLY.
If you just hit Delete, then it is from your Library and it leaves your device alone.
It takes 2 operations to kill both

(I have replaced a book in my Library, with the Device copy after doing a really

thing)
