Exactly what are you doing?
- Dragging the book from the calibre list to the device button? - Dragging the book from calibre to the mounted device? - Dragging a book from a directory to the mounted device? - Something else? Each of these will do different things. Quote:
What I still don't know is how the collections got there and the books into the collections. Or what your strategy is for putting books into collections. Knowing this, I might be able to suggest a way to handle this. There are some interesting ways to automate the collections discussed in this thread. |

1)setting "#myshelves, series" or "#myshelves, authors" in KoboTouchExtended.
2)Dragging the books from the calibre list to the device button. 3)after processing complete ejecting Last edited by oren64; 09-17-2015 at 04:49 AM. |

Calibre is not seeing my ereader (kobo). This just started happening a few weeks ago. Any suggestions? Thanks

Please go to the calibre / Devices forum and ask for help there.
Be sure to follow the instructions in My device is not detected by calibre. |

I've downloaded 2 free books from Kobo bookstore yesterday. But I can't see these books in the Calibre. Is there any way I can use Calibre to manage the download books?
Thx. |

If you have downloaded the books on your device, connect it to your computer running Calibre thru' USB. You will see new icons of connected device (and) Card, if any. Click on the device (or card), you will see the list of books on it. Select your book, right click -> Add books to library. Your downloaded book will be added to Calibre library on your computer.

There are several ways to do this: - Download the epub version of the book from your library in the Kobo store. Then add this to the calibre library. - Add an empty book with the appropriate title and author. This is done by right-clicking on the add book button and choosing the appropriate option. - Use the Obok plugin that is part of Apprentice Alf's tools. This can add the book from the library on the PC maintained by the Kobo desktop application or from the connected device. |

My Shelves issue with series
I am quite sure I am missing something blindingly obvious but I don't know what it is
I have created under custom metadata "My Shelves" with "series" in it the next field is My Tags... am I meant to put the series title in there? Also collections is bookshelves? really do appreciate the help thanks |

Yes, I think you have missed something that I think is obvious. But, I'm the person that created the function in the driver, so I'm not the right person to judge that In the driver the collections/shelve field is a list of columns in your library. The values in the columns are used to create the collections. I explained what I do and what it produces in this post. |

I just relooked at my Kobo and under the majority of the books I have the series name and sequence.
However the series itself isn't a collection For example "Book Name - Wendy's dummies guide to using a toaster Series name - Wendy's dummies Guides 16 Author - Wendy TJ" However there is no collection, previously known as bookshelf, in my collection list. If I manually create the shelf/collection it puts in position 16 Any idea what step I have missed? I am wondering was I supposed to create under collections all my series/collections/bookshelf manually? Thanks |
