Weird behavior with Kobo Touch
Well, after a long hiatus, I factory reset my Kobo Touch and reloaded all my ebooks from Calibre. Out of 1400 books transferred (according to Calibre), only 110 appeared on the Kobo and none appeared in my collections. Instead, the Calibre series information is being created as the collection which is not what it's supposed to.
It's been around 18 months since I last syncronised the Kobo with Calibre, I've updated Calibre and the Kobo plug-ins, and prior to that books used to transfer into the collections as expected. Any ideas on what's gone wrong? I see that series information is being added to titles as well which I don't recall setting up but must have done. One thing I noticed is that I have the custom column 'My Shelves' in Calibre, but on the Kobo it's 'My Collections'. I seem to recall it used to be 'My Shelves' - should I rename the custom colums to 'My Collections'? Maybe I should just stick with Marvin on the iPad as it's linked to my cloud storage... |

If the series info is being added to the book titles when sent to the device, that means you have a metadata plugin defined to do this. Most people use these to allow series sorting in the interface. You will need to remove this before sending more books if you don't want this. |

I think I managed to get this sorted, thanks, now I just need more space on the Kobo... (Even excluding the huge ebooks, I still have more than 1400 ebooks and the Kobo has taken a dislike to the SD card...)
