Got it. Thank you!!

I'm finally getting the hang of synching books to the Kobo Clara through Calibre. Some questions remain:

I have about 10 bookshelves in Calibre and made 10 folders on the Kobo reflecting the names of the bookshelves. How do I put the books in the bookshelves on Calibre in 10 folders on the Kobo, so that I can browse them by bookshelf?

Whenever I reconnect the Kobo to the laptop, in Calibre, the "on device" column is empty, even though I synched the book previously.

When trying to find a book, the "browse by tag" menu remains empty, even though I set up tags in Calibre. How can I remedy this?

In general: How do you all navigate your libraries? I find Koreader great for reading, but the file organization seems more intuitive in the regular Kobo OS, mainly because I can find books by metadata stored in the files without the need to create some separate database with Calibre.
