Not really. If you have the driver configuration done correctly in calibre, it will set the collections for each book on the device that is also in the calibre library the next time you connect. So, if you change collections for the book on the device, then it will be changed the next time you connect to calibre.

btw, how do you create and manage collections (shelves?)? When I have the device connected, I can see the collection column. For newly added book that lack a collection belonging, I can type the collection name in the collection column field for that book. But when reconnecting the device, the defined collection has now disapeared from the book.
I'm not sure what you are saying is actually happening, but my guess is that you do not have the driver configured properly in calibre. Have a look at https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo...nd_Collections for how to do it properly.
