The question is "What is the (best|easiest|quickest) way to delete them. As my master library is in Calibre on my PC, I don't mind wiping the entire reader, if this will get rid of them.
I used a SQL statement to delete authors that weren't on the device (or something like that), and was happy with the result. I didn't notice any side effects. I only sideload.
