You can do it that way. Alternatively, you can do a two-step process that copies the ondevice value to a bool column.
- Select all books. Use bulk metadata edit to clear your bool column.
- Search ondevice:true. Select all books. Use bulk metadata edit to set your bool column.

The reading list plugin might also be of interest.
Yeah, okay that's what I figured (and what I meant by checking and unchecking manually). Thank you for the thorough response, though. As you note, it's not such a terrible inconvenience doing the new column, but I just figured it would be a even lesser inconvenience if I didn't have to do it all!

I'll also be sure to look into the reading list plug-in.

Again, thanks for the comprehensive and prompt response!

EDIT:
Just wanted to add further thanks for directing me to the reading list plugin. It looks like it achieves exactly the kind of automation I was looking for!
