How do I remove audiobooks from iPod touch?

blueharvester · Nov 23, 2007, 04:36 AM

I have a number of audiobooks in my iTunes library that were bought off the iTunes store. I don't want these audiobooks on my iPod touch, so therefore I uncheck the Audiobooks entry on the Music tab of my iPod when it's plugged into iTunes. However, these audiobooks are still synced with to my iPod. What's going on here? Is there no way to keep the audiobooks of the iPod?

Here's what I do.

I select the option "Sync only checked items", then I go and UNcheck all audiobooks except the one I am currently hacking my way through.

I think you can achieve basically the same effect with a playlist, but I like my Audiobooks to show up under the Audiobooks section of my iPod, not under "Playlists" (ymmv).

with itunes open click on the books in your Library. Highlight the ones you want to delete, it will say books will be deleted from your library and ipod, confirm and sync your ipod
