These show up big and black on the Kobo, while the automatically generated ones are small and grey.
You must despair of users like me sometimes....
But now I am really impressed with the way Calibre handles this on Kobo.
And for at least one feature (dispensing with the need to eject, unplug, replug) I will try installing your NickelMenu: you have a lot of very good reviews.
Can I just ask one question before I do, that might save me from going through all 21 pages of the NickelMenu thread?
Does it only affect the way my copy of Calibre behaves to this (and other) kobos? I am giving the Kobo to a friend: he's in the UK and I'm normally in France and I wonder whether the NickelMenu will "show" on his Kobo once I'm no longer connecting it to my laptop. I'd prefer what he has to be a more or less standard Kobo.
Thanks very much.

I know that this is the Kobo forum, and this may not be welcome here, but I do want to point out that you can put non-Amazon books into collections, and have always been able to. If the books are sideloaded over USB, then they have to be put into the collections on the device, but if they are sideloaded by uploading them to your Kindle cloud, you can add them to collections on your computer, and they will show in the collections on your device.
