If it's not on the card, I remove the indicator from the on device column. I also update the unread column.

I also put no more than a couple dozen books on my reader at a time. It makes managing them easier, the reboots needed when I change batteries are shorter, and a couple dozen books on my reader will last me for weeks, if not months, since I don't read it at home (I use my computer, usually in conjunction with my 32" TV screen)
Thanks for the reply. Actually, I never really considered simply having less books on the reader. That would work great I think. I'll have to toss it back and forth or maybe try it for a month or two and see how it works.

Thanks again!
