I have a relatively small ebook library (under 900 books), and prefer to keep them all on my Clara BW, since I have plenty of memory. I also manage them in Calibre.

I recently went through the Calibre library and got rid of a lot of duplicates, mostly because of authors being in both first name/last name order and vice versa, and some unneeded format. But now that the Calibre library is cleaned up, how do I clean up the books on the Kobo?

I suspect the easiest might be to reset the Kobo and copy everything over again. I'm not opposed to this, but if there's an easier way, I'd love to hear it. And if this is something better handled in Calibre, I'm happy to be redirected to those forums as well.
