On the other hand, perhaps that's not the case - becuase you say Calibre can draw collections information from the settings on a Kobo device - and that's the way my H2O is set up, for example.

If you could clarify that one point for me, I would, as ever, be very grateful. Because if Calibre can't work with "overlapping" collections, then it won't be of any use to me for that purpose.

I'm not davidfor but I use this functionality a lot, so I think I can explain it. A book can be in different collections and you define in the plugin the columns that you want to convert in collections. So, as you can have more than one, it can be in more than one collection. For example, my setting for collections are: #sek,#dek,#tbr_col
