If you are talking about the 5" Aluratek Libre Pro (Transflective LCD screen) then yes it is very easy. You don't even have to delete the books. Just connect the device via a USB cable to your PC. You should then see two external media drives pop up (providing you have an SD card inserted into the device). Using Windows explorer - just cut and paste them to a folder on your PC. With some of the Aluratek Libre Pro models the 100 free books came installed on the "Internal User memory". Moving them to your PC will free up that space. If they came on the supplied SD card then using any SD card reader/writer you can offload them to your PC. These free books are classic public domain books that can then be passed on to anyone els in your group that would like to read them. They take very little space on your harddrive.

You will also see some other folders in the "Internal memory". Just leave them alone. The Adobe folder is where the key is kpt for any ADE DRM ebooks you may have on your device.

You might also want to look at getting "Synctoy" form Microsoft. It is a free syncing program that allows you to mirror two folders. One on your PC and one on a device via the USB cable. I make updates to my PC folder and then sync the Libre afterwards. This way you always have a back-up of your books.
