Cool, thank you, all!

In Calibre, I have organized my books (epub and pdf) by bookshelves in custom metadata. Now, I recreated these bookshelves as individual folders on the Kobo and only dragged the epubs over because I read the pdfs only on the computer.

With a Calibre sync, is it possible to keep this organization structure with the individual folders on the Kobo, i.e., the books that are on the custom bookshelves will sync into the folders by the same name?

And what if I just embedded the Calibre metadata with the menu item "embed metadata" and then dragged the books over manually into the folders? Would Koreader then be able to query that metadata?
