That sounds like exactly what I need. What Automatic Management?
1. Calibre preferences
2. Sending books to device
3. Matadata management: Automatic management

Then connect your Kobo to the proper library and you should be good to go.

calibre Preferences - Sending books to devices - Metadata management, then select 'Automatic management' from the drop-down list.

Since I'm lazy has anyone noticed any _real_ improvments to the OS itself because if not I'll wait until others have guinea pigged it for me before I make the jump myself.

You should go with 4.3.8842 instead of 4.2.8432. The improvements in the 4.3.8842 are series sort and it's smoother than 4.2.8432.

I just bought this e-reader (finally got around to spending my birthday money) but have yet to unpack and set it up. I read thru the manual from the Kobo site so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing, more so than the last time a tried with a Kobo Aura 3 years ago that didn't work out. Is there anything I should be wary of with this update? Do I have a choice about installing it or can I tell it "not now"? I tend to sideload my books because most are either fan fiction epubs or else have been converted from Kindle formats. Not to mention I am used to the library setup I have on my tablet, where everything is in folders according to author, series, etc. that makes sense to me but maybe not to Kobo and its collections thingy -- whatever that is.

Will also be borrowing from my library (in Canada) which uses Overdrive. I think Kobo can do that now, yes? Or do I need to go another route for library books?

Thank you so much for this! I'd tried repair account on the desktop app with the device connected and it didn't restore my collections but the repair account on the device itself worked.



I internet love you right now
You're welcome, glad it helped.

:sigh: Guess I'll have to stick with the tablet for library books then since the Aura One's a bit out of my price range and also lacks the all-important SD card. I don't borrow many ebooks from the library any, mostly audio books. Wish Kobo had text-to-speech. Maybe some day ...

You can still read library books on it by using Adobe Digital Editions.

Thanks, I'll try that when I get everything sorted.
