Series Number in Book title (Kindle)

cityzen · 03-17-2011, 08:20 AM

Hi All
I think I saw a post where some one gave instructions to add the series number into the title for books on the Kindle. Something like this:

[2] Startide Rising

Where the [2] indicated that it is the 2nd book in the series.

But I can't find the post.

Can anyone help me out on this?

You could use a metadata plugboard.

Have a look at this link:-

Since this article there have been things added like GUI Plugins which I don't know anything about.

The metadata plgboard info is contained in Library Management thread of Calibre. The other is contained in the Plugins thread.

I like the setup in this Sticky post under general metadata spoiler.

Thanks - That was the one I was looking for.

Can the series plugboard be used for books already in your library or will it only work for new additions? Thanks.

You may have to re-send the books to your Kindle, but that shouldn't be a problem as it usually just overwrites what's already there. If you do end up w/ 2 copies, Calibre will show you in the "On Device" column, and you can just switch over to your Kindle and delete the older of the two.
