Did you disconnect the glo from the pc and looked for the books in the shelves immediately or did you connect it again? I’m asking because for the metadata to be recognized by the glo it has to be connected two times.
So when sending books you should connect the glo to caliber, send the books, disconnect , let the glo process the books, connect again to caliber, let it update the metadata and disconnect again, at this time your metadata should be in the glo, including the shelves.
The first time I thought I was doing something wrong, but later I read in the forum that it took two connections for the metadata be shown in the glo, and I’ve seen several times people with this same issue.
Don’t give up on caliber just yet, it is far better than managing books by hand, and with the plugins it gets even better and easier. Have you tried the kobo utilities plugin?
