Hi there!
I'm just looking for some clarification about "series" & "collections" & what the difference is.

I saw the sticky thread about Shelves (i presume this is an alternate name for Series?) but that doesn't really explain what these are, it was more of a Calibre tutorial.

I understand that "Collections" are a device-based way to organise books, as I am able to use my Clara to select a book & add it to a Collection.

I dont seem to make use of the "Series" feature & dont see any options to add books to series or create them.
Therefore, I was wondering if Series might be a book-based way to organise?
Can I edit the epub xml content to tag certain books as belonging to a series?

Thanks for your explanations.
