Your friend is correct, but didn't provide enough information. In the book window, select all the files, right-click, and select Pagination. In the Pagination dialog, you'll find that 1st Page Side can now be set to Next Available. Set Before Saving & Printing to Delete Empty Pages, click Set, and you're done. 

The concept of Next Available has no meaning when you're dealing with an individual file (which could be standalone or contained in multiple books), only at the book level. But it's still a characteristic of a file. You might, for instance, want some files in your book to start on the next available page, but others (the first chapter, maybe, or the index) to start on a Right page. So you make the settings at the book level in the book window, but by selecting the applicable files, not the book.
