Ah. I think I understand the reason this isn't making sense to you --
'On device' is incredibly useful. Just because a device might be 'hard connected' today doesn't mean it always is. If a device is away for a month, and I'm emailing files to it, when it comes back any title that used a plugboard isn't recognized anymore as 'on device'.
Additionally, emailing is the best way to get the same file on many devices at the same time -- multiple kindles and an Ipad. If I send via email, all devices can easily get it. Being able to get a file on all of our devices with a single email, regardless of where in the world the device is, is extremely useful.
so, this creates a problem... all the files on the device that used a plugboard are now 'disconnected' from their calibre file, which means i currently need to periodically go and delete them all and resend via USB (when the device is at home). if you've ever dealt with amazon cloud, you'd know why this is a massive, massive, massive chore.
sorry, i have a family that travels tons, which is why there is an issue.
