I have thought they have something to do with ondevice because they appear in a column with the lookup name "ondevice".
I had thought Reading List, when I plug in my device, checks what books are on the device and marks the ondevice column for books that are on the device.
When I click View List from Reading List, it searches for those marks (using the search bar function), so that only books with that mark are visible and it makes the ondevice column visible as the leftmost column.
When I clear the search bar, it lists all books and the ondevice column continues to be visible. When I restart Calibre, the ondevice column is no longer visible (since it's in a position to the right of visible columns).
I'd rather the column was only visible when I want it to be visible and that there was an easy way to make it not visible other than restarting Calibre.
Apologies if I'm being obtuse.
EDIT: "If you want a way to show the list of books on your device when the device isn't connected, use Reading List to set a tag or some custom column, then use that."
I'm using Reading List for that purpose. The issue is having the column not be visible when I don't want it to be visible.
