In the FAQ, see step #2 of the Quick start:
Quick start: 'Connect to iTunes' mode

1. Launch iTunes with no connected iDevices.
2. In iTunes Preferences|Advanced, uncheck Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. This tells iTunes to use calibre's copies of your books.

Unfortunately iTunes doesn't clean up deleted files in its own database, so this is the best solution.
