My Kobo hates collections
Several months ago I posted asking for help with my kobo taking forever to sync. Someone recommended deleting my collections and redoing them. This worked perfectly, for a time. The issue eventually returned and I got rid of it with the same fix. Again it worked temporarily and I repeated the process, this time making less collections, but got the same results. When I delete all my collections, the sync immediately fixes and takes under 1 minute.
I have an Aura H2O 2 and I manage collections using tags in Calibre. Below is a list of fixes I've tried.
Any insights would be appreciated! I use my collections a lot, but also sync often to get my library books (I have multiple cards so I use Libby and sync). I'd love to be able to use both features again. |

What firmware are you running on your Kobo? Are you using Calibre? If so, what version?

Are you managing collections with Calibre?

Try switching drivers. If you are using the KoboTouch driver, ue the KoboTouchExtended and visa versa. Also make sure the other driver is properly configured for collections.
And one other thing to make sure if is that in Preferences > Sending books to devices that you have Metadata management set to Automatic. Check the driver to make sure it is correctly configured. Under the Collections tab, make sure that Create collections is checked and that the correct column is specified. I have tags as the collections column. |

No point switching drivers. The KTE just extends the functions from the base KT driver.
I'd be more tempted to try some painful steps. Maybe a repair Kobo account (found under Device Information). Factory reset followed by setup. Don't put any content on the device after reset but do a couple of syncs (which might be slow). After the syncs there will probably be collections on the device (while Kobo does not sync sideloaded it does sync collections). Use the device menus (not calibre) to remove the restored collections and do another sync. Finally when you have no collections left on the device and have synced try adding content via calibre.

I don't use collections. In calibre, I just set the author tag, and the device organizes by author. This seems to work well, without lag. But I only have fiction on the device.

I like collections to organize my books by subgenre (it's mostly all fantasy) and certain features I love like books with lots of political intrigue. It's really nice since I'm a mood reader. |

I have tried account repair and it did nothing. I've done factory reset twice, but never tried syncing it a couple times before adding books, so I'll try that. Thank you for the help! |
