It always works with a Kobo.

I have only had a quick look at this plugin but I found it does not meet my usecase. I have two columns that I use for collections on my Kobo:
- One is "Column built from other column behaves like tags".
- The other is "Text but with a fixed set of permitted values",
In neither case will the plugin accept them. It wants pure "Text" columns.
That said, the Pocketbook does have a solution, As well as COLLECTIONS they also have a GENRE field. This is populated from TAGS. I have created a METADATA PLUGBOARD, which uses the same code as my Collection custom column to output to tags.
What the above means is that you do not have to plug your reader into USB twice to get your collections, which you have to do with the Kobo.
That said, this is not meant to be a glowing recommendation for the Pocketbook as the Kobo Utilities plugin is far more versatile and, on the whole, provides far better integration.
