Basically I want to first remove the Amazon books, then back up the remaining Calibre books. I did not use Calibre to load all books in the first place; I had just copied the books over to the Kindle. For the rebuild, I would import everything that is not from Amazon into Calibre and use Calibre to load books on to the Oasis.
Does this new plan make sense and is there a smart way to do this?

Why separate the two? Unless you sync your Amazon books between different devices and therefore need the Amazon Cloud, or have extensive cloud collections you'd hate to lose, or use the Kindle Unlimited, the smartest way is to download your Amazon purchases to your PC, import them to Calibre and remove the DRM (if they have it). Then you can sideload all your books to your Oasis, without any need for separating, and have back-ups of your purchases as well.
