New Kobo user - folder collections question

[BertieWooster]

Replaced my old Kindle today with a brand new Kobo Clara HD (updated with the latest firmware 4.30.18838).

The query concerns if the Kobo is able to replicate the Kindle Collections plugin under Calibre that I have set up for my current book layout.

I have a Star Wars book collection which for each book I would set the author option to the period in time and its read order then in the Calibre Kindles Collection plugin with sort them into a folder for the period of time which itself was in another folder for the publishing era.

Layout Example on Kindle:

Spoiler:

+---2) Old Republic era
| +---01) c. 5,000 - 4975 BBY
| | 01 Lost Tribe of the Sith - Precipice
| | 02 Lost Tribe of the Sith - Skyborn
| | 03 Lost Tribe of the Sith - Paragon
| | 04 Lost Tribe of the Sith - Savior
| |
| +---02) 3,960 BBY
| | 01 Lost Tribe of the Sith - Purgatory
| | 02 Lost Tribe of the Sith - Sentinel
| |
+---3) Rise of the Empire era
| +---01) 89 BBY and 76 BBY and 44 BBY and 22 BBY
| | 01 Legacy of the Jedi
| |
| +---02) 67 BBY - 32 BBY
| | 01 Darth Plagueis

I have had a try with KoboUtilities plugin in Calibre with the collections column set to author and able to make a collection on the device itself but can't seem to add a folder inside a folder.

Hoping someone new to this reader can help at all, thank you.

You can't nest collections on a Kobo ereader. OTOH, you can put a book into multiple collections.

Ahh I see, thank you for the quick response, I shall have to use just multiple collections for each time era for now.

As for The Lost Tribe of the Sith, why not the read the full book instead of the individual chapters?

But it's good. You can create with Calibre for multiple books all collection, what you need for 1-2 click - by author, series, era, publishers etc. At PocketBook you have only File manager, and need for this about 3-4 phisical copy of book. Whats about Favourites, then i create collection "---Favorite---", and she only on top of list Collections - imply and quickly add the necessary books to favorites
