Shelves was just the old word for collections.

Forget folders - shelves/collections aren't hierarchical and fixed, they are a flexible tagging-type system. So you can have a book concurrently on the shelves "science fiction", "twentieth century", "read first", "hugo award winner", and so on.


To learn more about managing shelves/collections with Calibre, there is a sticky thread on the Kobo forum. It looks complicated at first but it is quite straightforward to follow it step by step. (After you've fixed your Calibre issue.)

You can create collections directly on the device, however this is slow and cumbersome, and if you need to reset the device all your work is gone. Managing them with Calibre is quicker and you can restore all your work in the event of a reset/corruption/broken device/etc.
