I am getting a Kobo Touch next week (now that my local JB Hifi stock them). I am currently using a Kindle3 (which my nephew will now get for xmas hehehee)
The one thing I am wondering, I have a lot of books that are in series, from normal books to manga. I have read that the Kobo can't have collections like the Kindle can, so I am wondering what is the best way to name/sort/organize my collection. Since I am going to put a big(ish) SD card in (8-16gb) I need to move around my collection with ease. I have attached a screenshot of my Caliber to show you how I have laid out some of my collection |

You could add a number or something to the title with Calibre.

Take a look at the use of the MetaData plugboards in Calire.
Mine is set to Code:
format:ePub Device:Kobo Source Template: {series:re(([^\s])[^\s]+(\s|$),\1)}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title} Destination Field: title Books IN a series have "A Shortened Name Of The Series" - "Series Index" - added to the title so that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy becomes THGttG - 01 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy |

Thank you.
Just got my Kobo and tried this and it Works well. Pity I can't do it with cbz as 50% of my series of books are comics, but if I convert them to epubs then it works. eg My Full Metal Panic series is now FMP - (chapter no.) - (title) and my Full Metal Panic Sigma series is under FMPS - (chapter no.) - (title) I would of never of work that out on my own. Again Thanks. |

Title (Series, #1) So what happens is you change the plugboard template, then for the books in calibre, you have to change the series data for each book? Is that correct? |

The plugboard is used when the book is sent to your device. So within calibre, both the device and library view still shows the book as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, number 1.0; the Kobo though shows the book's title as THGttG - 01 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Look at this post for more info. |

It shouldn't... Take a look at Advanced formatting in http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/template_lang.html . Pay attention to

I figured it out! Awesome stuff. Thanks !
{title} {series:|(|}{series_index:0>1s|, #|)} If anyone's interested in using it. |

is also:
{title:titlecase()} | {series:ifempty({authors})} "Name of the title | Series" or "Name of the title | Author " when "series" is empty |
