I think the last choice on the remove books menus 'remove matching books from device' probably would help letting me manage from the library view but can someone confirm this only removes from the device and not from the library as well as the device. My limited test seems to show this but I would like confirmation before I use this widely.

If you choose that last item, then that is all that gets removed. Not it shows you a list of removal candidates that match (in case of 2 copies found on device). Un-tick the one you want to KEEP on the device.

Device view is limited in what it can show because many devices do NOT support field datata other than that shown.
