Book series in Kobo Touch Library browser

GoingDown · 11-14-2011, 06:08 AM

Hi,

I finally got my brand new Kobo Touch today (getting it to Finland was not so easy as it sounds). Now, I have question about book series.

I have few series of books stored on my new Kobo (Wheel of Time, Farseer trilogy). I would like to be able to sort books by Series in library. Is this somehow possible?

I tried to put the book filename as :

Series - number - Bookname - Author.epub

But it seems Kobo takes the book information from the book metadata, not from book filename.

I am talking about sideloaded books of course.

If you are using Calibre, you want to make use of the Metadata plugboards feature to handle this. See http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...95&postcount=3 for an example.
