That way neither list is too long, and I can make genre more or less detailed to maintain the balance.
FWIW, I agree with NiLuJe. I'm not sure crowbar-ing many books into one makes for a better reading experience.

What do you plan to do when you buy a new book in a series where you've already done the consolidation? Presumably you'll need to re-consolidate the books. Because of the way the Kobo database works, you'll also need to physically delete the old mega-book from the device before re-sending it. In this scenario simply copying new over old wouldn't work. It all sounds like a lot of extra effort to me.

Of course you're free to try whatever you want to do. After all, it's part of the fun of a new gadget
