So that works.
How can we change the shelf of books already on the device (assuming they were transferred with calibre)?
If we can't alter metadata of books when viewing the books from within the device in calibre, do we have to alter each shelf from within the main library and send them again to the device?
I happened to answer that question earlier today. It is the second part of https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...06#post2252406. There may be some other things in that thread of interest to you.

(Is there any way to drag/drop onto a shelf or automate shelf changing? Going into each books custom metadata would be about as arduous as changing the shelf on the device.)
It you are using a tag-type column, find the column in the tag browser. Then you can drag the books onto the shelf there. Or, you can select them and use the "Edit metadata in bulk" to change them all.
