Set default send to device action: Allows you to specify which of the options, 1 through 5 above or 7 below, will be the default action when you click the main button.
Quote:
Send and delete from library: The selected books are transferred to the selected storage location on the device and then deleted from the Library.
With your device connected you need to change your default action, right click on the send to device and select option # 2:

Send to card (A): The selected books are transferred to the storage card (A) on the e-book reader.
