I hear you. I usually have a number of books on my Kindle, but I sort by Collections and remove the book(s) I'm currently reading from their collections while I'm reading them so that they are the only ones on my Home screen. When you sort by Collections, the collection names and the books not in a collection are sorted by Most Recent First.

If I couldn't use collections, like my bro-in-law who has a K1, I would keep as few books on my Kindle as is necessary.


As for bulk deletion, there are two options:
1) connect and browse to the files on your Kindle from your computer, go into the "documents" folder and delete the folders/files within corresponding to which books you want to remove;

or 2) connect to your Kindle via Calibre, switch the view to show the books installed on the device, and remove them from there.

You shouldn't have to delete hundreds of books individually from your Kindle's Home screen. Deleting the files en masse from Windows Explorer or Calibre is more efficient.
