This still necessitates that you add the Author to the Title in your filenames and delete the series or delete them after they are added as part of the title.

I have tried this (after reading other post and before staring this thread). The renaming job would be just as much work as editing each entry in the Calibre database.
I once had many of my files name just as you suggested, however ran into issue with the length of file names in other apps and devices. Restrictions of length of the file name has bit me when using a media player to listen to audio books when the player concatenates files names and plays them in the wrong order.
I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too (a phrase I have never understood). So goes life.
