Of course it goes to the recycling bin, where else do deleted files go? I mean, come ON!
Why is that a bad thing???
And I would think the remove books dropdown was less clicks than edit metadata ==> remove format....
In any event, you can always go ahead and configure the delete key shortcut to pop up with a list of specific formats to delete. Then it is a button click plus a mouse click and you're done. Even easier.
A truly lazy person would put in the extra effort to make sure it works smoothly.
