This updates the custom column in Calibre
THEN, once the status has been saved

(at the PC: Optional)
I can then search for #finished:true <-my name for the custom field

select any books with a tick in the ondevice (AKA ondevice:true) column and select:remove Matching from device
The advantage of this is a Batch operation if you have many books to delete

or you can just delete the book in CC
This may solve another problem too, she has a spreadsheet to keep track of books that she has read, but now this can be done in Calibre!

Before we went to ebooks, we had boxes of books in the garage rafters! Maybe this is why we have the "delete after reading" mentality.
