Series/collection info not on Kobo when copied from Calibre
I've just got a new Kobo Libra and have started copying my library.

In Calibre, I have the metadata in Series and Number fields, but when I copied the books to the Kobo the information doesn't appear in either series or collections (I don't understand the difference).

Is there a Calibre plugin, or a method of getting the information to show? Very few of my books were purchased from Kobo.

The way this works is to send the books to the device, disconnect the device and let it import the books. Then connect the device again and the driver will update the series information.

Collections are handled differently, but, you need to configure this yourself. Sending the series info is on by default.
