yes but I would have liked to keep that autopopulated list as a "history"
e.g. wife says : "I think you removed something you shouldn't have"

Ok, if that's what you are trying to do, you're stuck. You will never win that. The best you can do is apologise and buy her a nice bunch of flowers.

I can connect back the ereader, & since I will have disabled the autopopulate it will not sync automatically on connection, which means I can compare what she had with what is now on the device & we can review that I made the right choices xD
ho well don't worry, I guess I'll just add books manually or keep doing what I've been doing so far.
Thanks for your interest though

With this use case and the other comments, I would think about using a date column. Use it as "Last seen on SWMBOs ereader". Set that each time you sync her device or send a book to it and you can know what was on the device on that day. Anything with an empty date hasn't been sent. Anything with a date less than the last connect date has was removed from the device. If you are concerned with tracking when something happened, you might also need "sent to" and "deleted from" dates. Unfortunately, I can't think of any way to automate setting these dates.
