Just curious, what version # of calibre are you using?

"Save to Disk" is the feature via calibre, correct?

So reconverting happens prior to using the Save to Disk feature to export your books out of calibre. Good.

Go to Preferences - Plugins - Device interface plugins - Sony - Customize and remove series from the bottom box (see attached).

I know I keep repeating but you change your words. You are using the Save to Disk feature.

Do ensure that the following three settings are checked in Preferences - Saving books to disk area (see attached).

Save covers separately
Update metadata in saved copies
Save metadata in OPF file

Good Luck

Update:

Good idea.
