I found this on the nookboards that helped explain things for me. I just replaced nook with Kindle and it worked.

I don't want to have to rename everything in calibre, I also have many series where there are different authors for the books, and some authors who have multiple series that they are working on simultaneously. Its also the easiest way to quickly go to a particualer book. With almost 400 sideloaded titles, spanning over 30 pages, I need away to quickly go to the book I want.

to do what I stated ..you do not have to rename anything in calibre ..when you sideload into the nook it will add the series name and number without you having to do a thing ...


to have calibre do this ..just add the following

Preferences->Metadata Plugboards
then add the following
Format [Any format] Device [Nook]
Source template: {series} {series_index} {title}
Destination Field [title]
and save
then transfer an eBook to the Nook and it will add the series name, series sequence number to the book title on the Nook display and if the book has no series metadata then it just displays the normal eBook title. It makes finding books that is ina series so much easier on the nook...

Or you can change the template to get different results.

Someone in another thread (iandix) showed a way to modify the metadata to add a series name and number when you side-load a book into your documents folder.

I tried this and it works nicely, though I modified it a little bit. The way it was suggested, when the book shows up, it's in this format

Source template: {series} {series_index} {title}

So that it reads, for instance:

Jack Reacher 11 Bad Luck and Trouble
Lee Child

The way I have my books shelved (with shelves named by alphabet then sorted by author), I prefer this:

Source template: {title} - #{series_index} in the {series} series.

Now, for instance, my books say:

Bad Luck and Trouble - #11 in the Jack Reacher series.
Lee Child

It's a little longer, so many of the longer titles end prematurely with an ellipsis (...). Like this

Bad Luck and Trouble - #11 in the Jac...
Lee Child
