I am using Calibre 5.17 running under Windows 10 Pro x64 20H2 to manage eBooks on my new Onyx Boox Poke3 running Android 10.
Onyx has something they call a "bookshelf" which seems to work like a subfolder. I can add files on my Boox to a bookshelf after loading them onto the Poke3, but it would be much easier if I could do this in Calibre. In the Calibre UI I see "Collections", but these do not appear to map to anything on my device. I want to use my Boox for musical scores as well as eBooks, and need some way to group them separately. I thought that the Boox "bookshelf" would be the answer. How can I manage additions to Boox "bookshelves" in Calibre? Failing that, can I use "Collections" or some other construct that Calibre supports to group files on my device? What do more experienced users recommend?
