I don't remember an ereader with a 6 foot 8 inch screen. JSWolf would approve there aren't many pockets it would fit in

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 collection management should work the same on the Aura ONE as on the other devices. It is working OK with firmware 4.0.7523 on my Glo HD. But, I have had another report of this on an Aura ONE, so there must be something wrong.

Can you restart calibre in debug mode, connect the device and let the device jobs run. Then close calibre and post the debug log. I should be able to work out what is going wrong from the logs.

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.
You can add multiple books to a collection. Form collections list, long press on the collection and select the manage option from the menu. Or while viewing the collection, press the menu icon at the top of the book list and select the manage option. This shows the books currently in the collection with a checkmark. Press the check to remove. To add books, press the "Add books" at the top of the list. Within this, you can press on the plus on each book to add them. Or, you can use the search to find books to add. Once done, press the done or save button at the bottom to save the changes.
