Yup, I often do that when I'm "cleaning" or updating, but I'm not always attached to my computer when I'm removing books from my device, and I'll be going on an overseas vacation soon without/minimal access to my computer.

If your search for what to delete is based on tags then you might be able to do the search directly in the device view.

Do you want to "mark" each book somehow and then deleting all marked?
Any of that sounds good to me. Marking might be closer to what I was thinking of, since a group search might have to span multiple categories or at least select parts of a group/category.

YES! Thank you!

I have a couple of fanfics where the authors have "revised" their works from the very beginning so really one version is the original and the other is the new version. "Fading Lights" is the first to come to mind; the old has 10+ chapters, the new has 3, and I like to flip between the differences so far. One of my quirks. I also find some formats look better depending on the app used to read them, but that's mostly just how calibre formats the original pulled from online.

Will definitely look into doing that, sounds like a much easier option to deal with.



P.S. - my greatest downside is probably that I'm using a Kindle (Fire HDX), so updates look like they'll be a little delayed for me.
