I mean a user-defined category in the tag browser, yes. For user-defined categories, it's possible to have hierarchical categories, e.g. I could have a category "Authors", with a subcategory "British", and then tags for each British author. Ideally, I'd like those to appear on the Reader as collections "Authors: British: [author name]".

Does that make more/any sense?

... Okay, running into additional problems, now. Augh.

The example you gave should work for predefined categories like Series or Languages ... except I just tried it, and it does nothing. o_O I even tried c&ping the example used in the help section (the last one -- as in, the last two lines, basically), applied, restarted, checked that the tweak is still there, tried to transfer a book, and nada. the series is just a collection "Test Series", rather than "Series: Test Series", which it should be. Could I be missing something? o_O

Regarding importing collections back from the device, there is no way to do that.
Bugger, that's what I thought. Oh well, I'll just do that manually in Calibre, then. It's only a few books a week, after all. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!
