No, not automatically. However, it is very easy to do from calibre while connected. Assuming your "read" column has a lookup key of #read, the steps are:
- Connect your devices to calibre as a wireless device. Let the connection stabilize (metadata exchange, syncing, etc).
- In calibre, do a search for "ondevice:true and #read:yes". All books it find are candidates for deletion.
- Use Ctrl-A (or whatever Select All is on your OS) then hit the Delete button/key.
- Calibre will ask you if you want to delete books in the library, books on the device, or both. Pick "on device".
- Calibre will show you a list of books that it will delete from the device. If you agree, press OK. Calibre will "talk" to CC to delete the books from CC's library.
Another way to do it more automatically is to use the
Reading List plugin. You could make a list that is "auto-populated" using the #read column, and is further setup to delete the books in the list from the device when connecting. Books would be automatically deleted from the device on the next connect after they are marked as read. Personally, I wouldn't do this because of paranoia -- I want to be involved in decisions about deleting books, but you might prefer not being bothered.
