I turned off the auto-delete News from my calibre library and did a test for you. It seems that "On device" in calibre for main memory only reads from the My Files > Books folder. I am not sure how to change it to show the other folders (if that's possible).

I downloaded the News in calibre. Then I plugged in my NC. It sent the News to my NC in the Books folder. At that point, the file showed "On device" within the calibre library. I then closed calibre. I moved the News from the Books folder to the Newspapers folder. I then opened calibre. I had to eject and reconnect my NC via USB to get it to reshow in calibre. The News file was still in my calibre library. However, it didn't recognize that it was "On device". That's because it seems to be only looking in the Books folder and it's not there anymore.

Hope that helps!
