I setup my Kobo Aura HD using the settings on the first post in this thread. That works just fine as far as it goes. What I REALLY want to do though is emulate the folder structure of my Pocketbook, which is like this....

author_sort[1] / author_sort/ series / series_no - title

ie C / Cussler, Clive / Numa Files / 01 - Sahara.epub
ie at the top level I have the collections A - Z. Inside each letter I have all the authors with names that start with that letter. Inside the folder for each author I have a folder for each series, plus all the books that are not in a series.

In the Kobo I have no problem making up a Shelf (Collection) for any one or all of these. But that is no good at all as you then get hundreds of collections. What needs to happen (I presume) is that you need to be able to create a collection inside another collection.

Is this possible?
