Series & Book Number
Kovid,
What is done with the series and book number within series information? Is that information passed over to the PRS-500?
I read a lot of books in various series. When using libprs500 to look up the book information and cover, if I have the book within series info in the title, the lookup can't find it. A lot of times, that information is already in the filename, so to look up the cover, I have to take it out, then put it back. With 300+ books on my reader, it's hard to keep track of the order in which to read some of them!
Would it be possible to have that info optionally prepended to the title when the book is moved to the Sony?
For example, take David Weber's Starfire series: (1) Insurrection, (2) Crusade, (3) In Death Ground, and so forth (there are 5 total).
I'd like to specify the following metadata in the library: title - "Insurrection", author - "David Weber", series - "Starfire", book - "1" for the first book, and so forth for the rest of them.
What I'd like to see on the PRS-500 would be title: "Starfire 01 - Insurrection", author - "David Weber". The second book would have the title "Starfire 02 - Crusade", the third book "Starfire 03 - In Death Ground", and so forth. This would keep books in a series grouped together without having to use a collection (which would be limited to what you could cram into main memory).
Thanks,
Bob
