My post https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=441, has the exact configuration needed for calibre to create shelves for each series on the device. To quote it:

Quote:
As you are doing book and collection management in calibre, you probably want the following options set in the KoboTouch device configuration:

- In the shelf column include: series
- "Create Bookshelves": checked
- "Delete Empty Bookshelves": checked
- "Set Series information": checked

Save the configuration and then disconnect the device, and reconnect. At this point, the driver will do the shelf and series management for all the books in the calibre library that are also on the device. After this, try the "Order Series Shelves" function.
Doing the above will put the series shelves on the device with all the books in the series. But, it happens at the NEXT connection.

if you want to use more than one column to specify the shelves, you simply put the names of each column in the field separated by a commas.

An important thing that has not been explicitly stated is that the shelf management is one way. When you connect to calibre, it will update the shelves for all books in the calibre library and that are on the device. If you put one of these books on a shelf manually using the device, it will be changed when you connect to calibre. But, if you have books on the device that is not in the calibre library, the shelves for them will not be changed.
