Yes, I could put all my ebooks in the root of the exposed storage but I prefer my structure though I will admit that it was created by a newbie long before I even started using calibre.

It's not the length but the fact that when you delete that author's books because you've read them all, you will eventually end up with a number of empty subdirectories. That's the problem I had with the default settings for sending a book to a device sometime way back when. I've since changed it. I don't want empty subdirectories. Just like I don't want leftover files. That happens on a Kindle when you delete the book using the Kindle.

Weird and wonderful. Why would I bother creating a collection based on series since a simple search will find the series?

Because you have more choices.

As mentioned, I use one collection to keep track of finished books. For finding books, I use search which makes tags and collections of relatively little interest to me. I do use a subtitles column which more often than not is used to store series information for books that are in more than one series. Oddly, my Kobo seems to find that information searchable.

I've never tried to search on the series info on my H2O. That's good to know that it works. Thanks.

I hope that the OPs were helped by what I posted and that they were not hopelessly confused.

I hope so too,
