Not sure which reading list setting is in error. I'd love to have some guidance as to what each setting does. Apologies if there is already a Wiki and I missed it.

The options to look at are:
- "When syncing this list": There are several options. I suspect you have one of the options that update all the books.
- "Sync to this device as soon as it is connected": Just whether to do the sync immediately. Turning it off when having problems is a good idea.
- "Clear this list after a sync to this device": This will empty the list after the sync is done.
For me, I use the reading lists as a way to collect books to be added to the devices. I have the last two turned on and the first set to "Add/Overwrite all list items on the device". And I have a list for each device. That way, when I get a new book, I decide which devices it goes to and add the book to those lists. When I connect the device, the books automatically go there and the list is cleared.
My guess is that you intend the list to be a list of all the books on the device. And it is automatically syncing all books to the device when it is connected. If, so, turning off the "Sync to this device as soon as it is connected" option is probably enough to solve the problem.
