Having genres allows you to be creative in how you use Tags without creating a bazillion collections. I have created a hierarchical genre structure that shows up in the tag browser (very cool for organization!). I have loads of books that belong to series, and I feel like they are better organized now. I have installed several custom plug-ins that I didn't realize were available. I love the ability to Count Pages. And, there is a plug-in that retrieves metadata from Goodreads (yeah!).

It would be most helpful for me (and I guess other less expert users than yourself) if you could give a bit more detail as to how you did this.
I find Calibre somewhat impenetrable and hours spent like you plowing through the forum and the Calibre help files have only added to confusion and head ache. So as simply as you can bear to do it please outline the steps you have taken to organize your tags, genres, series etc
Thanks.
