Allow Removing Local Files and Filtering to local

Add Filter Options to Library to Only Display Local Files

• I almost never want to see all of the books in my library at one time. It would be great to have options to filter the list.

Most often I just want to see the few books that I am currently working through. In my workflow that means the ones I have downloaded locally.

Incidentally, it doesn’t look like there is a way to remove a file from your device without deleting in from the library. That would have to work first, I suppose.

Alternatively, a filter for in progress books could work.

Hi @bmcquist ! yes, having an active filter for the library, is something that we want to do (no ETA though yet)

Regarding removing the backing file from the device, there are a couple of ways:

• I believe you can swipe left on the book, and from the Options, there should be a Remove from device
• Via Settings → Storage management
• Via Files app → On your iPhone → BookPlayer → Processed, then delete any of the backing files

Please be aware that you will need to import back the file to resume playback, unless you're using our cloud sync feature, which allows for streaming

Aha! @GianniCarlo I somehow missed the remove from device, I must have been looking at a book that wasn't on my phone. That's great!

Thanks!
