Thanks to you both! I had been trying to keep track of what was on each device so was not clearing the lists after sync. By adding a column for each list which is updated for add and remove I see now I can achieve what I want and still clear the list after sync. I'll play with the "Sync to this device as soon as it is connected" option as well.
Again, thanks for the very quick help!

- "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.

If you want to use the same list for multiple devices, I think you need remove those books from the list before you sync.
