Please explain what I have to do to move the series to the Kobo.

Thank you
What you can do is organize your books like you did on your Sony with collections. You just have to go into Calibre and edit the settings in the driver and go.

To do this...

Preferences -> Sending books to device and set metadata management to Automatic management. Then Calibre will automatically update the collections every time your Kobo is connected.

1. Click Preferences
3. Sending books to devices
4. Automatic management
5. Apply
6. Click Plugins
7. Search for KoboTouch
8. Click Customize
9. Click Collections, covers & uploads
10. Put in the dialog box the columns you want to use for tags and series. I use the tags and series columns. Given that you have had a Sony, those would be appropriate columns but you can create custom columns if you desire. See https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...nd_Collections
11. Check Upload Black and White covers
12. Check Upload covers for book (newer readers)
13. Click OK
14. Click Apply
15. Clock Close

If a requester does pop up asking to restart, click to restart Calibre. If you don't get such a requester, go to step 14.
16. Restart Calibre
