Books in Series order
Hey there,
I'm new here, as I've finally ditched Amazon, bought a Kobo Libra 2, downloaded Calibre, set it all up, and now getting my head around proper management of my books. I do have one question though. I've sorted all my books in Calibre into series order, but I'm struggling to get them to show within the series tab on the Kobo. I've looked through the forums, and can find posts here and there, but they seem to start from the perspective of already knowing what plugins, etc should be used...this isn't a good starting point for me. Is there a thread I've missed, that details almost a 'step by step', from the plugins I need, the settings I should use, etc? Thanks in advance. |

In Preferences => Sending books to device, ensure that Metadata management is set to Automatic Management. In the 3rd page of the configuration for the KoboTouch driver, make sure that the Update metadata on the Device and Set series information are checked. At this point any series information set in calibre should be sent to your Kobo on the 2nd connection (like many bits of metadata, you need to send the book and import it to create the database entry in the first pass). The process is the same if you are using the optional KoboTouchExtended driver to allow converting ePub to kepub on the fly. I would recommend installing the Kobo Utilities plugin. It has quite a few useful functions including allowing you to switch between the KoboTouch/KoboTouchExtended driver and open the active drivers configuration page. See the attached images for some visual help. Last edited by DNSB; 04-15-2024 at 03:28 PM. |
