If you use Calibre to manage your eBooks on your Forma, you won't have to worry about recreating your collections. It will just happen. Also, you can manage series with Calibre. And you'll have all of your eBooks in one easy to access location witch will make things easier. When the day comes that I get a new Kobo, it would be very easy to setup the new Kobo the same way as the current Kobo. Calibre allows me to do this. Plus, with Calibre, I can look at the code of my eBooks and make any changes I want. So with the eBooks you seem to be having a problem with, you could look at the code and see if something needs to be changed. And with the DeDRM plugin, you can remove the DRM from all ePub no problem. And then if you prefer KePub over ePub, you can use the KoboTouchExtendedDriver to convert to KePub on the fly.

I don't see any reason not to use Calibre instead of syncing, using Kobo Desktop, or ADE to manage your eBooks. You just download as ePub and you can then do a lot more with your Kobo because of Calibre.
