No, it's 8.0.1.

Did you already have those collections on your Kobo (created there?) If so, delete those.

One check mark solved the problem. Now everything is OK.

I am no more afraid of factory resets, since thanks to you I know how to restore Collections and Reading positions.

Thank you ever so much again. God bless you

Nope. The Use Kobo viewer for EPUB books is the calibre 8+ equivalent of send kepubs for the KTE driver.

Then it's a bug in 8.0.1 as there is no longer an extended driver.

If you look at the first image, you'll see the option to switch between KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended. That's wrong as the extended driver is no more.

One thing to remember about collections; the NAMES of them at least do get synced to Kobo when you do a WiFi sync. The members though (I believe) only get synced if they are Kobo store books in kepub format.

This can lead to spurious collections reappearing after a reset.

Sadly, that came from the Kobo Utilities plugin. The plugin required an update for calibre 8+ so now the plugin will show Configure driver instead of the selection option. If you revert to an earlier KoboUtilities, you will see the Driver item but trying to select the KTE driver gives a non installed message.

A PEBKAC bug so to speak.

Thanks for that. I've never used that feature of Kobo Utilities.
