I have lots of space left on my Sony Reader (a PRS-T1), but I also have a few books on there that I don't want to read again (or at all). I am trying to figure out how to remove them from the reader using the software that came with it, but I seem to be missing some vital bit of explanation, because I can't seem to take books off of the reader.
Some of the books I want to remove are expired library loans, and some are actual books I have bought and paid for, if that makes any difference. Ideally, I'd like a way to remove multiple titles at once, but if not, one at a time will work too.

I've got a Sony PRS-T2, accessed on the laptop with Adobe Reader for PC.
I've found that adding or deleting books to the ereader using the computer's File Explorer (as suggested by a previous commenter) does NOT work.
To add books, you have to use the related program (Reader for PC) to import books onto the device.
And deleting books via the file explorer seems to do nothing at all.
I couldn't find a way to delete things from the eReader itself using the program.
For my eReader, the only way to delete things that I have found is (as described by the other commenter) to go onto the eReader itself (not the computer), go to the bookshelves, press and hold on the relevant book
this comes up with a menu, one of the options is delete.
This is a one at a time thing, I can't see a mass delete method. This is probably deliberate to prevent accidental disaster.

If you want to remove files from the PRS-T1 you can connect the reader via its USB cable to a computer and have the internal memory available as a USB drive. The TRS-1 shows itself as two USB devices, one named SETTINGS, the other READER.
The books are normally under READER/BOOKS.
You can just search for, and delete the books with your OS' file browser.
The device will rebuild the database of available books after disconnecting it from the computer.
Make sure to properly remove the device, do not just unplug it.

On Sony PRS-650 when you read a book, press the Menu button then there is a Delete Book menu entry.
PRS-T1 manual says the following:
Deleting a Single Item
You can delete individual items. The following instructions use the
[Books] application as an example; this feature is also available in
other applications.
Press the (Home) button tap [Books].
Tap and hold an item. The option items appear.
Tap [Delete].
Tap [Yes] when prompted. The item is deleted from the Reader.
There is also a way to for deleting multiple items at once.
