Series support?

KindleMama · 10-08-2012, 12:49 PM

I am new to Calibre, and use it to help organize books and files that I am reading on my Kindle Fire HD.

I have several different series of books, and I'm wondering if there is a way to catalog them my series in my Calibre library, instead of every book just being lumped together by author.

I would love any advice you might have!

If you edit the metadata of a book, you will see a field for the name of the series and the index within the series. These display as a column in the list looking something like "The Hunger Games[1]". You can then sort by that column or use the tag browser or search to show just one series.
