Could there be an option to cache the presence/absence of the book on an external device, and continue to display checkmarks even when the device is not plugged into the computer? That way, we won't have to keep reconnecting the device just to find out which books are loaded.
You need to make some sort method to document what is on the device.
Tag "OnKindle" is one way
There is a bit of effort to Manage (action chains PI might make this easier)
Device is connected
1) Remove all previous marks (OnKindle)
2) Search ondevice:true, select All (the results)
3) Tap 'E' (metadata editor in bulk mode) Add Tag:OnKindle

The remove step is needed to handle deleted (from device) books
