Weird question...i looked, really i did.

can you do sub collections/shelves? Say I have a Programming collection, can i then have a set of collections beneath that like Java, Python, etc?

thanks

ETA: Also I renamed a few shelves and when I updated the meta on the device, the old shelf was gone but the new shelves were missing. I had to resend the books to the device to get the 'new' ones to appear (at least I hope they're going to appear - still updating)....is that normal?

ETA2: Nope that didn't work either

Let me correct that....just re-adding did not work (just caused duplicates), removing and readding did work

ETA3: looks like the actual problem for the shelf renaming was that I wanted them in brackets [] so that certain ones would appear at the top. It did not like that via calibre even though it seemed to let me create one like that on the device. I used an underscore (_) instead and did not need to re-add or remove anything, just refresh meta so hope that helps someone else in the future. (On Glo)
