thats a good idea – i record on goodreads too and have them in my calibre library, but just think maybe will slow down the ereader if i keep everything on there

I guess you can always redownload books so there’s no harm in deleting them. I have a second folder of all my purchased books. I never usually reread books unless it’s HP though.

I find Calibre really glitchy so I delete books off there once they are in my kindle record.

I usually don’t bother to delete them. They stay in the cloud, so even if I did, it wouldn’t really matter. Ereaders rock, man.
