To start, I should note that none of my books are downloaded directly from Kobo into the app. I tend to prefer other websites for purchasing. The process I generally use is:
- Download the book
- Edit the metadata in Calibre
- Transfer the book to my phone
- Import to the Kobo app
Within the Kobo Android app, there are Collections and Series. I
can use the Collections tab to organize these, but given the limited sorting options it's rather a pain. (To make them display correctly, I must perform separate import operations for each book and then Sort by Date.)
I would much prefer to have the books show up under the Series tab, which (I assume) would sort by series number. I have the series information loaded into calibre, but it does not seem to transfer* when I import the books into the Kobo app.
My best guess is that calibre does not store the series information in the place where the Kobo app is expecting to find it. But how to go about solving this -- for example, where is the Kobo app expecting this information? -- I don't know where to start.
Or am I way off, and doing this is not possible? Any help is much appreciated!
