I've already read the threads on here about Sage and Collections, but nothing has worked for me when I tried them. Basically, my beloved Aura died a long drawn out, painful death. The usb connector stopped working. On the Aura there was never any problems with Collections and syncing. Did so frequently. However, here is the problem. Calibre has both Shelves and Collections. Worked without problems on the Aura. I bought a Sage replacement - need the biggest screen size possible but wasn't keen on the Elisa. Hate the format so far with the two buttons making it much broader.
Now, when I touch the Collection tab on the Sage it asks me to create a Collection. I have many collections and over 1000 books on Calibre. There is not a chance in hell that I can create my own collections on the Sage. Even stranger, although the books are on the Sage, when I reconnect it to the computer it doesn't show that they're there. I have done the restart, turning it off and on, nada. After I'd transferred the files the first time it started updating but only 6% and then home screen appeared.
Sorry for the wall of text, but help? What am I doing wrong? Should I do a manual reset and begin again? Download one Collection at a time to the Sage and wait for it to update?
