What I (and I think others do) is to:

1. Make sure books in Calibre have their Metadata set to include Series and Number info, and the Title set to just the books title. For instance, "A Spell for Chameleon" by Piers Anthony, I have flagged in series Xanth, and Number 1.00.
2. Configure the Calibre Metaboard Plugin to "massage" the title. See Metaboard Plugin thread. Mine is set to
   
   This changes the title of the book on the Kobo to the first letters of each word in the series, followed by a hyphen, the series #, another hyphen and the title.
   So the Piers Anthony book is listed on the Kobo as X - 01 - A Spell for Chameleon.
   Book 3 of the "Flavia de Luce" series "A Red Herring Without Mustard" comes over to the Kobo as FdL - 03 - A Red Herring Without Mustard.
   Books with no series info, come across as just the book.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! This is definitely better than just sticking it in the title.

But what do I do now about being unable to re-add the books to my KT after I removed them?
