Wow! I didn't expect my question to spur such an in-depth discussion. This is great!

@T6J2E5: Start with https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...nd_Collections. That is a guide for using collections. And there is a long thread, https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=193184, where most of the issues have been discussed.

Noted. I'll take a look at those threads. I somehow missed them in my search before posting.

I think both collections and series are useful. Series are useful for obvious reasons, but I also like to use collections on my Kobo the same way I used shelves on my Nook. Grouping books by genre or subject is handy when you have a large library.

Good to know, and this makes sense. I have to keep this in-mind in my photo gallery, as well. I built a photo gallery for my Linux box that allows me to tag photos, and I have to be careful to always use exactly the same tag as I used before, otherwise, I'll end up with your "Western" vs "Westerns" issue. Not a big deal, once you get used to it.
