I noticed that when you delete books directly from the device, the book doesn't go away until you make another action. To be more clear, the device doesn't update your catalog right away even though that book might be deleted.

Try this yourself:
-Find a book you want to delete.
-Choose any view you'd like (there are three views, 1 book, 6 book, list. I've tried deleting in all three views, they all have this bug)
-Now select "delete" either by holding on the icon of the book or selecting the drop-down menu.
-A menu will popout, asking you to confirm or cancel.
-Confirm.
-In the background, you'll notice that the book you deleted is still there.
-As soon as you make an action by touching anywhere on the screen or putting the device into sleep, only then the book will disappear.

I've tried this with books, pdf, cbr files.
I hope the dev team fixes this bug in the next firmware update.

UPDATE
When I delete a picture file (random sketching I just did to test), it deletes it without delay. This is how it should be with books, pdf, cbr, etc.

Could you guys confirm if you have this problem also?
