E-Books file categories on the Kobo Aura One

chromeuser · 10-21-2016, 12:06 AM

Hello everyone,

As a Kobo user, I am still learning different ways to make the device work better for me.

My questions is this - I keep my e-book library categorised in folders (it makes it easier to copy it to a SD Card on any device. However, similar to the Kindle, there is no way - I can see - for the device to recognise these folders and auto-place them in collections. Is there a method, e.g. via Calibre, to make the device recognise the categories? Or would I need to manually create collections and select the relevant e-books for each category?

Thanks!

The Kobo devices use collections. Strictly, you create them on the device and add the books to them. But, you can do this using calibre. A guide for this is https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kobo...nd_Collections.
