... As far as I can see it is working. But, there is only one book that has a collection. I cannot see if this is because books on the device are not matching to books in the library. Or that there is only one book that has a value in either of the two columns you are using for collections.
Afternoon David - many thanks again for your help here, I do appreciate it.

I think the custom collections are working fine now: having read some more of your advise to others, I didn't realise that the Kobo had to be re-connected to calibre after the collections editing process, and that the 'jobs' had to run through before re-ejecting. My mistake (and ignorance...). I did only have one collection with a single book in it as I was trying it all out.

I also note that you have worked tirelessly with calibre and to support us users. That is extremely generous of you David: again, I can't thank you enough. Reading is very important to me - especially with my mental health to manage - so struggling with the Kobo was really detrimental, on any number of levels! Anyway, your work benefits me greatly, and I'm sure many others too, so a big thank you from me.

THANK YOU, DAVID!

Cheers,

Chris
