Thank you for your response!

I detected the duplicates in Calibre and deleted them from Calibre but they exist on the device as detected by Calibre.

Can I make Calibre delete the copies on the device? In Calibre I see a book and in the On Device column I see next to the green check mark in parentheses either (two books) or (three books) for the ones with duplicates. In Calibre, when I select the book, use the context menu, I see Remove Books options. The only option for removing from device removes all of the copies of a book, not just the duplicates.

Options as I see them are:

1) Delete the entire library off of the device and reload it.
2) Go through each book on the device and manually identify duplicates and delete them.
3) Since my library is on the SD card on the device, I can place the SD card on the PC SD Card Reader and use a PC duplicate finder to find them and delete them.

Do you have an opinion on which of these would be easiest to accomplish?

Thank you for all of your work.
