  • a "remove" on the device, in which the selected ebook(s) are completely removed from the device, including any existing annotation files.
This would give you all the freedom to add, update & delete ebooks on your device.

I use the delete/add combo a lot when correcting the formatting of ebooks, so the "update" option would be nice

But there is no pressure for this feature, there are certainly more urgent matters to attend to.
Resending a book without deleting it first is fairly safe. It is only a problem if you change the internal structure and the ToC. The ToC is extracted and stored in the database, so if it changes, the book has to be reimported. And I have some code to fix that, but, I have to finish it.

But, sometime, I'll add an option to remove the files in the Digital Editions directory when deleting the book.
