So the flow goes
- connect Kobo to pc
- transfer books to Kobo
- calibre updates it's data file on the Kobo that stores data for calibres usage
- Kobo disconnected
- Kobo scans for new contents and imports it
- reconnect Kobo to PC
- calibre updates the Kobo database with metadata
- Kobo disconnected

Tada. Books now have collections / series info
Thanks! But I see series (collection) info without the need for a 2nd pass; only the subtitle is not updated. Is it because this is specified in the Kobo driver settings, and is not part of the Calibre metadata?
