Regarding the KoboRoot.tgz, docs show that it is needed to add stuff like the KOReader or CoolReader. The "how to" for adding an alternative reader has install 'fmon' then KoboRoot.tgz. But if it is already included then I won't worry about & just hope that the included file is what I need to add KOReader.
Think most docs are outdated.

There is no one KoboRoot.tgz. The installer for most patches must be called KoboRoot.tgz as when the Kobo firmware finds a file with that name in the .kobo directory, it will trigger an installation which allows installing files outside of the exposed FAT32 partition you see when you connect your Kobo to a computer. Look at the KoReader docs and you are told to install Start Menu (currently at Kobo Start Menu 09) or FMon (which now seems to be impossible to locate but you can use KFMon for the same purposes) before you can use KoReader. Both KSM09 and KFMon's install packages have a KoboRoot.tgz file but it is not the same file.
As for shelves or collections, not something I personally use. Being able to search author, title, series, etc. allows me to find the books I want without scrolling through pages looking for the right book.
