Question Question about iBooks: Genre, Series and Category

Hi,

I am starting to get a large library in Calibre and am using my iPad as my reader. So far I love Calibre (have donated too) and have found iBooks to be excellent for reading books.

According to the sticky post: "Calibre + Apple iDevices: Start here" the following should be filled
  • Calibre Series -> iBooks Category
  • Calibre Tags -> iBooks Genre (at least i think thats what it says)

I use the regular "connect to iTunes" thing to move books to iTunes and then to iBooks during a sync.

1) Series -> Category does not work for me. Category in iBooks just shows the same old categories it always showed (e.g. all books, pdf,...)

2) Genre is all over the place in iBooks while some "genre" in iBooks are correct (e.g. "Science Fiction") quite a few are just the series names.

Any ideas how I can get those two things sorted out?
