Now my "Collection columns" settings shows "#myshelves, series" as per the instructions here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...nd_Collections

What should I change, or should I change anything at all?
Firstly, the columns used in the Wiki page are just examples. You can use any column in calibre to create the collections. "series" was used as it was one of the most common suggestions elsewhere. The other is a custom column, and again, was just an example of a column.

As to what you should do, it is up to you. There is no reason to change it if you don't want to. I know at least one poster here has implied they will stick with their series collections. Or, you can use some other column to create collections. "tags" is another popular one, though I find it produces to many collections. Another is some sort of genre tag. Or you can turn it off completely.

If you do turn off the collection management, I would recommend doing it in two steps. First, remove the "series" column and connect the device. This will remove all the series collections. Then turn off the collection management. After that, the driver won't change collections when you connect to the device, but you can create them on the device.
