I meant connect to the PC and run calibre.

I know I have to connect the kobo to the computer to charge it; however, I wasn't planning on installing the desktop software or activating the wifi. With the books on the sd card, I guess I presumed that if I ever took the card out to add/delete books, the kobo would make the updates to the shelves and series once the card was reinserted....maybe not?
You can put books onto the SD card and the device will process them into the library when you put the card back into it. But, that is all it does. The shelves are created by calibre when the device is connected. It updates the database on the device to create the shelves.
