Thank you for your answers.
I have a few more beginner questions:

So I added a book into the main library after configuring the shelves, changed its shelf to "test", transferred it to the device and it showed up in a new shelf called test.
So that works.
How can we change the shelf of books already on the device (assuming they were transferred with calibre)?
If we can't alter metadata of books when viewing the books from within the device in calibre, do we have to alter each shelf from within the main library and send them again to the device?
(Is there any way to drag/drop onto a shelf or automate shelf changing? Going into each books custom metadata would be about as arduous as changing the shelf on the device.)

Thanks.
