I used to have it sorted until the reinstall but now I can't seem to sort it out.

As I said before, I think you want to put #myshelves into the Kobo collections box. Do that. If it doesn't work then post

• An image of the Kobo dialog showing the collections box.
• An image of the #myshelves column definition dialog.
• An image of the Edit Metadata dialog showing the contents of #myshelves for some book.
• An image of the "Sending books to device" preferences dialog showing what "Metadata management" is set to.
• A copy of the calibre debug log showing the Kobo connection. To get the debug log:
  1. Start calibre.
  2. Click on the down arrow next to the Preferences button
  3. Choose "Restart in debug mode".
  4. Wait for calibre to restart.
  5. Connect your Kobo.
  6. Wait for the connection process to finish.
  7. Disconnect your Kobo.
  8. Close calibre.
  9. Post the entire log that appears in a dialog.

If you followed the directions and set Metadata Management to "Automatic" then the collections are updated every time the Kobo is connected to calibre.
