It has nothing to do with Linux. It has to do with the wish to use free software.

There actually is Linux software for this. On a standard Cybook it is possible to find the author of the book. So tags can be read. And we all know there is software to modify *.prc files and change tags. Mobiperl comes to mind.
Since the format can be changed anytime this is not robust.

I have absolutely no problems deleting songs from my MP3 player. The software takes care of that. Simply select the song and use 'delete'.
I often have different version of the same book and they have the same meta information but different filename. It is then impossible to know which version you are deleting. You could argue that this is abnormal usage but when developing MobiPerl that situation occured often...
