If there's an alternative method, I'd happily embrace it.
Upgrading firmware should not cause any problems. If it does, you would probably hit a similar problem soon. It doesn't need a factory reset or anything like that. Just turn on WiFi and sync. Or use the Kobo desktop app or manually put the update on the device.

Could you point me at information on how to set that up? That's exactly what I want - autogeneration of collections which are named using the Calibre series field. According to my notes, I didn't need to set anything for that when I installed my first unit. Aside from defining one line in the plugboard page, the default choices Calibre made worked for me very nicely.
There are instructions in https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...nd_Collections. They use series as an example.
