What is the best way to clean up these errors - does the plug in need an extra feature or what?
The 'Book with no file' entries are book codes found in the Collections list on the Kindle that have no matching book code on the Kindle. The Kindle generates a book code for every book loaded on the Kindle (the long string of numbers/letters above). If you add a book to a collection then only the code is stored against the collection name, not the book title or path.

I suspect if you delete a book from the Kindle using the Kindle, the Kindle deletes the book and its related code entry in the Collections list. If you delete the book another way (e.g. via Calibre), then the code stays in the Collection list. The plugin sees that code and tries to find a matching book on the Kindle, but since none exists it just shows the code.

You can use the Edit Collections option of the plugin to remove each 'Book with no file' entry from a collection and then save. This does not delete any books from the Kindle - it only tells the Kindle that that particular book/code is not in a collection anymore.
