With Marvin connected to calibre, type the following text in calibre's search box:

series:true and ondevice:true

This tells calibre to filter the list of displayed books to those that are in a series, and those that are on the device (Marvin).

Within that list, you can click on the Series column header, then group-select the books you want to delete.

Click Remove books, then Device to remove from Marvin. Or, you can right-click for a context menu, then Remove books, then Remove matching books from device.

This will work if the books were added to Marvin from your calibre library.

If the books came from another source, switch to the Device view, showing the books installed in Marvin.

If you've added the books to collections in Marvin, you can filter the list to a particular collection by typing

collections:foo

where 'foo' is a collection name.

Otherwise, you can sort by author, then group-select the books to delete.

GRiker -

Could you add similar functionality for GoodReader as well.

Since iBooks does ePub + PDF and now that we are all moving to
- Marvin : ePub
- GoodReader : PDF

Given that GoodReader may not even read or need a lot of the meta-data and functionality it might be as simple as copying the files ... BUT.. directly via Calibre > iOS interface.

Thoughts?

Maybe your scripts/ driver can become the "base framework" for add-on drivers/ scripts to push MEDIA into Non-Apple / Non-iBooks apps on iOS.

e.g. If I wanted to push/pull stuff to and from Marvin using Calibre, I'd wish to do the same for GoodReader (PDFs) and the best .MOBI Reader out there.

Slight changes and we could push out a new driver for any "Brilliant" new reader.
