These are my settings - format - epub device - kobotouchextended source template - {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} destination field - title Which results in my books appearing like this - Series - 03 - Title You can adjust it so that the title shows first, then the series and series number. |

I decided to just ‘go for it’ so I turned the kobo on for the first time and set it up. I inserted the empty sd card into the kobo, connected it to the pc, launched calibre, selected (3) books and sent them to storage card A; then ejected the kobo, watched it ‘process’ the books, turned it off and then back on. I went to Library->Books and, lo-and-behold, there they were; however, when I went to My collections, it lists 5 entries. Here is the info on the 3 books I sent: Book 1 Series: Hard Case Crime My Shelves: Hard Case Crimes Series Book 2 Series: John Puller My Shelves: David Baldacci Book 3 Series: Will Robie My Shelves: David Baldacci And here’s what I see when I select My collections: David Baldacci Hard Case Crime Will Robie John Puller Hard Case Crime Series This is the metadata plugboards source template info I used: {series}{series_index:0>3s| # | - }{title} I know I’m real close to getting the kobo dialed-in…any advice is greatly appreciated. Okay, I re-read this entire thread and found my error. In the KoboTouch plugin, I changed automatic management from #myshelves,series to just #myshelves. That fixed it!

Can I create sub-collections on the Kobo Aura? I created the template below for the Nook, and now I'm trying to convert it to the Kobo.
Code:
{title:'current_library_name()'}/{title:'contains(current_library_name(), '^Fanfiction Library$',sublist(field('#fandom'), 0, 1, ","), field("authors"))'}/{title} Fanfiction Library > Fandom > Title.epub or Fiction & Biography Library > Author > Title.epub Right now, after adding #libraryname, #fandom, authors to the Kobotouch plugin, and using the template above. It creates collections for all instances, it does not organise into sub-collections as the template tells it to. Do I need to write a different template? |

Kobo devicess do not support sub collections; only a single level. However, books can belong to multiple collections.
For instance, I end up with a collection by series, a different one for all books added in a given month, yet another for all books finished in a given month, plus some dedicated to certain classifications like food or reference materials. |

Yeah, that's what it's currently doing. Books are appearing in collections for #libraryname, #fandom and authors. It's a mess. I want the folder structure above, mainly to separate fanfiction from fiction.
Shame. I may have to write a different template, turning the libraryname of my non-fanfiction libraries, into a fandom. |

Thank you for the guide. It seems that now you can also add simply "series" or any other tag to the device options, you don't need a custom column anymore.

You can use any column or combination of columns. You always could. The custom columns are handy if you want to use something that is not in one of the standard columns.

Series now showing series[#] management shelves
Hi,
I am not sure when Calibre went to showing Series as series[#], which in calibre I could careless about, however using them for shelves I have 32 book series now has 32 shelves vs the 1 shelf. Am thoroughly annoyed anyone have an idea how I can fix this extremely frustrating behavior? I have several thousand books so going purely to using the custom field is not an option. It does not help I did not notice until 11pm on a Friday night. Thanks Laura |

I don't see any difference in how calibre is displaying series. And my shelves are still just the names of the series. Can you check the driver configuration? And specifically, what you have in the shelves field.

So I need some help because I have followed the instructions to the letter of the law and I am still struggling with creating these shelves.
After experimenting a little I can now see books on the Aura HD. What is interesting is that if I send the books as .epubs, they show up no problem including covers. If I covert them to KEPUBs, I get a collection with books that have no cover and show Unknown Author. This DOES NOT produce: Series Title, # and Title. Found out the answer and here it is for anyone else with issues: Actually, what I noticed is that the only thing you need to do (provided calibre is configured for automatic metadata management) is: 1. Send books in question to the device. 1. Eject device 2. Disconnect USB cable 3. Wait for Kobo to process new books 4. Reconnect Kobo and allow calibre to sync metadata. 5. Eject device and enjoy. This will both fix the small square book cover and simultaneously sync the correct series information, in the library views you'll see the name of the series and the index in a format like this: <Book title> <Series> - <Index> <Author> It seems that with the copying of books along with their metadata to the kobo reader the series information is ignored and/or erased after the initial processing and sometimes the cover isn't shown correctly. 2nd metadata-only sync should fix this...
