Doing this manually is easier in calibre than on the device. You can select all the books you want in a shelf and use the bulk metadata editor to add them in one go.

Thanks anyways. Adding them bulk is exactly what I was doing prior to the loss and reload of my PC. I have about 1600 books on various subjects stored on the Kobo, of which about half are categorized, and no way of knowing what has and has not been shelved, or what shelves they are even on.
Let me ask you a question. Do we know the database type and structure used in both Calibre and Kobo? Are they both mysql based? I'm just wondering if it would be possible to do a cross-db query and populate out the #myshelves field on the Calibre from the existing data on the Kobo. Maybe I'll have a look at that and see. If I have any level of success I'll let everybody know.
