And not sure about the rest. I'm dragging and dropping and then copying? In my mind if I drag the file and drop it, it will still be on the computer (Desktop) and (hopefully) in the ereader as well.

I don't know Linux. Do you know what I mean when I say look at your files in Explorer? Whatever the equivalent is in Linux where you see all the files on your computer? You have your books in a file somewhere. Find that file and right click select it with your mouse, drag it to the folder in the reader where your books are and drop it. (let go of the right mouse button) There should be a pop-up, there is in Windows, where you get options that you can choose. Choose - Copy. If you choose move it will move it from the folder on your computer to the folder on the reader. This will not leave a copy of the book on your computer. That's why you don't want that.

If you left click the file and drag it to your reader it will permanently move the file from it's current location, on your computer, to the reader. Think of it this way, if you have a box of items in your bathroom and then pick it up and move it to your dining room, then the box will no longer be in the bathroom. Moving it does not leave it in two places at the same time. Does that make sense?
