This disturbed me too with my PB360, until I realized you can save all your books with useful titles with Calibre very easily.

I have 3 classes of books -- plain, tagged and series. Plain is obviously a stand-alone book, tagged are books that are part of the same "universe" but don't have a special order they should be read in (i.e. Nero Wolfe) and series, well they are series.

I save all plain books as "Author Name Folder/Title -- Author(s)"

I save all tagged books as "Author Name Folder/Tag Folder/Title -- Author(s)"

I save all series books as "Author Name Folder/Series Folder/Series Number -- Title -- Author(s)"

So I am essentially getting all the metadata information straight from the folder structure and file names. My only complaint is series still can get split up if different authors contribute. I've considered saving those series as:

"Series Name Folder/Series Number -- Title --Author" but that would complicate my book transferring and be more work.
