hi. I just got my Kobo Glo today and immediately raided Project Gutenberg in order to figure out the Calibre shelf management system so helpfully posted here (thanks!)
I spent several hours banging my head on my desk trying to figure out my bookshelves aren't showing up and I'm totally stumped at this point. some debug is pasted below, shortened to include only 1 book per Bookshelf for brevity's sake. hoping someone can help out. I've triple checked the settings and it's set up exactly like in the OP. I realized at one point that while the Library view had my Shelf names in it, the "Custom metadata" drop down in the Edit metadata menu for each item had nothing selected, so I set the shelf names there too. then I deleted the files on the device and re-sent - still no shelves showing up.

Well, for whatever reason, shortly after I posted the Kobo froze, restarted, the shelves showed up but the books were all corrupt, I factory reset AGAIN, synced with Calibre, and all was happy. all before a moderator could approve my first post!
who knows! at least it works! edit: I'm really confused by the first-post rules. in case the one I already wrote doesn't show up, I had followed all of the instructions in the OP but the shelves just weren't showing up on my Kobo Glo, so I posted with a debug log asking for help. I guess my device just needed to have a little freak out before it decided to work. Thanks for the shelf management tips! Last edited by sayedie; 01-01-2013 at 12:53 AM. |

Although I created shelves in Calibre (great directions!) they do not show up on my Kobo Mini. I have to create the shelves manually. But, when I connect my reader to Calibre again and load more books, my shelves are still on the reader but they are empty!! Mt metadata management is set to Manual Management. Any ideas?

It didn't work Peter. My books that I had set up in shelves all deleted again when I connected my Kobo to Calibre. I noticed that Metadata Management AUTOMATIC says "disabled when device connected". Is that normal?

Correct to all of those.
This was just an example of how I used to use plugboards etc. With the recent addition of the native Series support on the Kobo(s) I am currently leaving the Title alone and not overriding it ny adding Series and Series_Index to it. |

I am using a Touch with v2.1.5 of the firmware (until a proper new version comes out) and have followed the instructions in the 1st post to set up series info. The books are already on the Touch. Do I have copy them over again to see the series info?
Thanks, V |
