I messed with my settings ages ago to try and make it so I had bookshelfs based on the column 'genre', but this only happened when I updated my kobo. I thought maybe it would get fixed when Calibre updated, but it didn't.
I know nothing about personalizing calibre and every time I've done anything I had to follow a tutorial, but now I can't download books and I have no idea how to fix it!
Please help!

At a wild eyed guess, you have your send to device template set to send every file with the same filename. Check the first page of the KoboTouch or KoboTouchExtended driver. See the attached image.
The full template I use isn't visible in that image so I'm pasting it here.
Code:
eLib/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}
Basically, the root directory for my books is eLib. Inside that is a directory based on the author sort (first author name only) and then the ebook with the filename created from the title and the first author name. So something like The Ickabog by J. K. Rowling would show up as:
Code:
eLib/Rowling, J. K_/The Ickabog - J. K. Rowling.epub
A multi-author book such as The Wizard of Karres by Eric Flint, Dave Freer and Mercedes Lackey would show up as:
Code:
eLib/Flint, Eric/The Wizard of Karres - Eric Flint.epub
This has no effect on how your Kobo would list the book.
The first author names were due to issues with some anthologies where the multiple authors caused the path & filename to become too long.
