I bought the Aura out of curiosity. I already had the first Aura (the 6'8" one).

With Calibre, I uploaded all of the books in my Calibre library, which more or less duplicates the library on my first Aura. Usually, if I specify a shelf for a book in Calibre and then sideload it onto the device, the Aura recognized that.

The Aura One does not seem to recognize the shelves. So now I'm stuck with nearly 500 titles, 98 pages of books on the Aura, all unsorted. There's no easy way to search in this list, AFAIK. So if I want to look for a particular title, I have to browse through 98 (ninety eight!) pages of books before I get to it.

Really.
Is there any easy way to apply the shelve sorting I'd already applied in Calibre to these books. That will finding particular books on the device quite a bit easier for me.
The interface for shelving on the device itself is nice for single books, but not for sorting umpty books. Let alone if there's hundreds.
