Format: mobi
Device: KINDLE2 <------ make sure you select KINDLE2 and not KINDLE!
Source template: {series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|| - }{title}
Destination field: title
Now click "Save plugboard" and you're done. When you transfer a book to your Kindle with Calibre, you should now end up with a title in the desired format.
I should also add a second plugboard which is the same as the one above, but with a format of "prc" rather than "mobi". That way it'll work for files with both "prc" and "mobi" extensions.
Hope that helps!

Thanks, I've added that to Calibre now (set for DX in my case).
Would I be right in thinking that this can only work if an ebook started out as an ebook? One that first went online as txt, html, pdf or suchlike wouldn't have the metadata needed to make this work would it?
