you can archive items you've downloaded. After they're archived, they're available in the Kobo Cloud for when you want to read them again.", so no you can't put the book on the device and hide it from the software.
I do have almost all of my library (1000+) on my Kobo. It slows it down in two instances: when powering up (which I almost never do), and when loading the bookshelf list (I have a bookshelf per series, which means that even if I have only one book from a series, it gets a shelf, and I have 200+ shelves). I'm finally starting to remove books from the Kobo if I'm sure I'll never read them again.
I worked out a pretty simple way to manage removing books while generally keeping my entire calibre library synced. I installed KiwiDude's
Reading List plugin, created an "Auto populated from search" list, with search
tags:"=keep off kobo", and sync options of "
Sync to this device as soon as it is connected" and "
Remove list items from device". Now, when I want to remove a book, I just tag it as "keep off kobo" in calibre, and it will be deleted next time I connect the device.
