Frustrating syncing

My hubby has a kobo and I use an Android. We've both purchased books under his email address. He doesn't read mine, but I read his. The problem is that every time he plugs in to his computer, his kobo syncs everything. Even if it doesn't download my books, it downloads the titles. He doesn't want to have to see all my titles (or even all of his own) when he scrolls through his twenty odd page book list (200 books so far) when he is finding what he wants to read. It wouldn't be a problem if they would just say in the on-line library where we could find a name if we wanted to download the book, but they don't. He deletes them off his device and they sync back on. When we had just our Sony Ereaders we didn't have this problem. We'd go onto our Sony Library and download just the names we wanted to show on our devices. Now we have hoards of books we don't want to see all the time. With hundreds of books on our account, it would be good if Kobo could set up so that all books showed up on the kobo website, but only downloaded (name or text) to a device when wanted. And seeing as families have always shared purchased books within the household, it would be nicer if the books could be separated into his, hers and ours.
