Hi,

I have the same issue on 2 devices(libra2 and elipsa 2e) and I can't find an easy way to solve my problem.

When you first turn on a new device, it is already populated with some authors and series. Only the authors and series, no actual books are linked to those. And I want to remove those entries as they are useless and 'pollute' my devices.

Other than going into the database and deleting rows. Is there a way to remove those entries from the device? or maybe I can remove those entries by using calibre?

I hope I am clear enough

thank you
