Hiding Books/Remove from this Device
What are the advantages, if any, to Remove from this Device compared to Hiding Books?
Are books still searchable with Remove from this Device?

The books are physically removed in both cases, so they are not available for searches or other features. If you Remove from Device they are still visible in Library so you can easily restore them, and they are still available on another computer/installation. Hidden books are removed from all (desktop) installations and are visible only in Program Settings, from where they can be restored one by one.
You will Hide books when you think you will never use them. You will Remove from device for more strategic reasons i.e. you don't have the physical space on one computer but still want them for another installation.

That clears it up for me. Thanks Dave.

Minor correction: Remove from this Device resources still appear in the search results section Library (Cloud) while resources on this device appear in the search results section Library (downloaded).
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Yes, but they are run on a FL server and you have no control over how results are presented.
