Thank you, I did read this but I didn't think it was what I wanted. I though I read it made series shelves, which I don't want.

- Press the device button.
- The device list is shown with all the books on the device.
- The last column is the collections on the device.

As you have Kobo devices, there will be two pseudo collections. These are "Im_Reading" and "Read" which map to the "Reading" and "Finished" filters in the Kobo library lists.

Kobo and Sony devices display the current collections like this. I don't know what other devices do this.

To do the collection management from calibre, see https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo...nd_Collections. This is what meera is referring to. For that configuration, you use one or more columns in calibre to create collections on the device. You can view these columns in calibre without having the device connected.
That is a much easier way to change what I have read instead of going through almost 100 pages of books on the reader.

I am thinking maybe tags is the way to go. A long time ago I made my own tags with a *, ie; *YA Fiction, *YA Romance, *Epic fantasy, etc... I don't remember how I did it on my Nook but I know it worked.
