I think you just solved the mystery davidfor, it may be because off the sd card, when I created the collections I was putting all the books in the sdcard, but a few months ago I removed the sdcard and transferred the books to the internal memory.
Your first post mentions logging out on the device. If this was since the SD card was used, then there won't be any records for books on it that need to be removed.

If it is the SD card, one way to clean up the SD card records is to put an empty card into the device. When the device sees the card, it checks for books in the database and on the card. Any missing from the card are removed from the database. Any books on the card that are not in the database are added. If you have a card that has books you don't want to add to the device, the device does not scan folders that whose name starts with a dot (eg ".MySDCardBooks"). You could rename the folder, put the card in and let the device clean up and then rename the folder afterwards.

I'll put SD card cleanup in the TODO list for the utilities plugin. It's been suggested before but as it can be cleaned up by the above, it hasn't gotten to the top of my priorities yet. And to be honest, I had completely forgotten about it.
