With Kobo adding Archiving of kepubs in firmware 2.4.0, the calibre driver will now display this as a collection in the device list. Along with this I have done some big fixing on the Kobo collections.
The changes include:
- Archived books will show in the device list with a collection of "Archived".
- The "Recommendation" and "Preview" options didn't work properly.
- Some previews showed as recommendations. This would have been most noticeable with fw 2.4.0.
- If a recommendation matched a book in the calibre library, it could end up on a shelf. The books on the device would show with a "Buy now" button and could not be removed from the shelf. This will no longer happen.
If you currently have recommendations appearing on a shelf, to remove them:
- Make sure the "Show Recommendations" is selected in the driver options and metadata management is set to automatic.
- Connect the device.
- Let calibre sync to the device.
- Eject the device and check the shelves. If any recommendations are still on shelves, complain to me.
