its not at all clear, from the release notes, or from your post, exactly what this new feature is intended to help with
if I want to remove a book downloaded to my tablet, I can do that already by deleting it in the reader app or the downloader app , or with a file explorer.
surely if I have read a book, I will then delete it from the reader and not return to the CS to do that ?
and surely also, the CS can't know if I read some, all, or none of a downloaded book. its a dumb server- all it can know is that it allowed a device to request a file, not what happened to that file afterwards
so is this feature just for people who get books onto a device directly from CS via a browser, and not via an app like calibre companion, which already has its own delete button or via ODPS in moon reader ?
if I want calibre CS to serve the newest version of book i just edited , and not a older version from yesterday, that is still cached somewhere on the library PC then the new feature is not there for that? [That still happens, despite an attempted fix from Kovid. the only way to be 100% sure that CS will serve a just-edited book is to close calibre then restart it, then fetch the book from the CS]
