Two days ago I serial jailbroke the device and put it into airplane mode - I exclusively sideload books using calibre anyways.
Now, annoyingly the "All" tab of the homescreen shows all books in my amazon library, even the ones not on the device. These include books I don't need anymore or that are not intended for the kindle (non-fiction books for example). How can I clean the "All" tab of the kindle from these unwanted books while keeping the device fully offline?
I thought about resetting the device to stock but then I would need to connect back online to register and use the device, wouldn't I? That would bring the content straight back.
What about the special offers? Would they return once I reset the device to stock (since the unit came with special offers from the factory) or are they disabled for good?
Since the unit is jailbroken, is there something I can do that way in order to remove "unwanted" books from the library list?

In a nutshell, and this was already mentioned in post 2 of this thread, here is what the viewing/displaying options mean:
- ALL : Every item* stored on the Amazon Cloud
- DOWNLOADED : Only items* downloaded onto your Kindle
*Items include books, Audible files, comics, samples, periodicals, docs, and collections.
The ALL option is there so you can see your entire library stored on the cloud so you can find an item you want to download to your Kindle. If you don’t won’t to see all those items, don’t select ALL, select DOWNLOADED.
