Probably the best way to effect this would be to combine the views of the ebook library on the computer and the library on the reading device-- that way, when the user is viewing the list of books on the library there would be some indication with respect to each ebook of whether that ebook is or is not on the reading device (a green (+) contrasted with a red (-), for example). Next to that indicator for each ebook, there would be a checkbox where the user could indicate whether or not he wants that ebook to be on the reading device.

Thus, if the ebook is in the library but not on the device and the user wants the ebook to be copied to the device, the user checks the box.

If the ebook is in the library and on the device, then the checkbox is already shown as checked, and the user can uncheck the box to remove the ebook from the device. (If the box is checked and the user doesn't change that, then naturally the book would not be re-copied to the device.)

If the ebook is on the device but not in the desktop computer's library, then perhaps there can be an option to copy the ebook from the device back to the computer's library.
