How do I remove Audiobooks from Iphone???

Thanks for the suggestion and I can certainly do that but it seems less then ideal. I actually already had set my iphone to only sync selected music playlists and until I read your suggestion I didn't realize that a new playlist had been created and checked to sync! I wonder why Apple treats Audiobooks inconsistently from an interface point of view to podcasts. Both show up as Library items in the Itunes pane, both have special category buttons to access in the ipod application and both store the listening position you were at when they sync back to itunes. Yet when it comes to how to specify sync preferences to the iphone one has it's own tab (podcasts) that allow you to a number of useful options such as ALL, SELECTED or ALL UNPLAYED and audiobooks get a playlist that only shows up on the iphone music sync panel and is either all in or not ???! Wow Apple's UI watchdogs must have been asleep at the wheel! I would have expected the exact same treatment as podcasts perhaps just putting another listbox of books and the same choices as podcasts on the same tab in the iphone sync UI panel.

Actually what I did to sort of solve this problem is to create a Smart Playlist called My Audiobooks that I sync to my iphone instead of the default one that apple used called Audiobooks. This Smart playlist has two rules - 1. it is media type of Audiobook 2. it has a play count of zero. This way after I listen to a book it will magically disappear from my iphone freeing up space for other things. If I ever want to listen to it again I just reset the play count to zero and it will show up on my device again. This is a workaround until Apple makes their UI more consistent with this type of media treating it like a Podcast media type and having the sync options handled on the same tab as podcasts would be more intuitive and preferable. Thanks Jim, for pointing me in the right direction...
