PeterT Thank you for your time so far.
As you can see I have managed to create a Genres tab in calibre. I now have 2 queries to ask of you.
1) Is it possible to get (my) the genres to update themselves direct from the tags tab? or do I need to add the information myself through custom metadata?
2) How on earth do I get the genres to show up on my device. It's times like this that it sucks to be a computer novice.
