I'm assuming this is just another reason to loathe the new paperwhite update, but hoping against hope there might be a fix.

I read a lot of library books, and to keep my kindle tidy, I regularly go into my amazon account and delete the expired/returned books. This used to remove them from "all titles" on both of my kindles.

After the updates, it no longer removes them from the paperwhite. I have to manually return them from the paperwhite -- even when they were long since returned. And there's no way to tell by looking that they're not actually available anymore.

Pretty sure this is deliberate on Amazon's part, since accidentally trying to download an expired book will bring up a buy button for it. But might there be a way to change it?
