Help with Tags/Collections Calibre/Aura H20 (First Edition)

djcnyc · 09-12-2017, 11:46 AM

Hi, All-

I am having trouble figuring out how to have my Kobo Aura h2o (first edition) create collections based upon the "tags" category in Calibre. Is there a straightforward explanation available somewhere? Other than the cover, most metadata from Calibre is missing on the Aura H2o reader.

Many thanks!

I posted this very set of directions recently. You can find my post in the following thread... https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=290146

I just did this same thing for the first time about an hour ago. Pretty simple. In addition to the linked instructions for creating the collections you have to enable metadata management.

In Calibre go to Preferences -> Import/Export -> Sending books to devices and set metadata management to automatic management. Then Calibre will automatically update the collections every time your Kobo is connected.

There is a fuller explanation on the wiki (https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...nd_Collections) but it includes some extra stuff which it sounds like you're not interested in.
