Did the idea of checking series stuff fizzle out?

I'm looking (I think) for an easy way to identify those books that are part of a series where I have more than one. (Or conversely, books that are the only book present in a series, which is easier to explain, and serves the same purpose).

Of course what I'm really after is a way to only put series information on my reader (Sony collections) when I have more than one book in the series on the reader (to manage collections clutter).

What trying now is a custom column (#device_series).
I connect my device, swap books in & out, then restrict my view to books on the device.
Then I can use my MK1 eyeball to select all the series with multiple books, do a bulk metadata search/replace to copy the series info to the custom column, and the automatic metadata manager takes care of the rest.

That seems to work ok, but I'd like to get the temperamental MK1 eyeball selector out of the loop ...
Or, maybe there's a much easier path to my destination???
