I look for incomplete downloads, which show in the name column as just all or part of the ASIN. Delete those.

I may also delete downloads which the kindle is showing as a future date or ones that show as downloaded but can't be opened on the kindle itself.
Can you elaborate a bit on this? I looked at the folder you suggested and I do see quite a few files with a .partial extension at the end of the file name. But there are also folders for some of those same books. I don't know how the file system works on the kindle. Do you just delete the *.partial files? Or do you also delete the folder associated with the same book?

Also, how do you look for "...[downloads] kindle is showing as a future date or ones that show as downloaded but can't be opened on the kindle itself..."?
