davidfor - Cool! I'm getting eager to actually turning on my Kobo for the first time and using it.
One other question regarding the instructions at the beginning of this thread regarding metadata management:
Quote:
Configuring calibre's Metadata Management options
calibre has three options as to when it updates Metadata on the device. This also affects when the shelves are managed on the Kobo.
This option is managed as follows:
Preferences | Import/Export | Sending books to devices
The Metadata management selection has three options
Manual management: Calibre updates the metadata and adds collections only when a book is sent. With this option, calibre will never remove a collection.
Only on send: Calibre updates metadata and adds/removes collections for a book only when it is sent to the device.
Automatic management: Calibre automatically keeps metadata on the device in sync with the calibre library, on every connect
As can be seen from the descriptions, for full functionality of the Kobo driver, set the Metadata management to either Only on send or Automatic management. From my experience, I have seen the easiest option to be Automatic management.
If the option is set to Manual management, shelves will NEVER be removed.

What option should I set the metadata management to?
I'm going to have all my books on the sd card (sideloading?) and I will have the wifi disabled; I'm planning on never connecting to the kobo store, or sync, etc.
As always, thanks for your help!
