The ability to ‘remove’ a book from device will be convenient when encountering ‘simultaneous usage’ limits, or just to be able to manage the downloads more easily.

It is not clear if you get ‘credit’ when you put in the request, or if you have to wait until that device actually connects to amazon the next time.

The fly in the ointment, of course, is that Manage Your Content does not have an accurate notion of what is on a given device. I just checked the first book on my list, it says it is downloaded to a particular Kindle of mine, but it is not (it IS marked as my default delivery device).

I also see there has lately been a new Deliver To option on web interface: Your Kindle Library. I’ve been using that lately, but MYC still thinks they got sent to the default device, even though they didn’t. Sync of the Kindle has not cleared anything up so far.

I tried the ‘sunny day’ case: removing a book that is actually on my Kindle and having the Kindle connect to Amazon. It said ‘the request has been sent’, make sure your Kindle is on and connected. However, it remains on my Kindle after a number of minutes, and several explicit Sync Your Kindle actions.

So it appears it doesn’t work or takes longer to work through the system than I’d expect.
