This creates a problem, because I'll end up with a book title like
The Bone Collector
in Calibre
vs.
Lincoln Rhyme [1] - The Bone Collector
on my kindle, and Calibre does not realize they are the same book.
And since Calibre doesn't recognize they're the same book, no collection is created.
I'm sure someone has a solution for this?

Okay, I asked about this in it's own thread (since it isn't specific to this plugin) and...
it turns out that it's because books are transferred via email + plugboard, and... well, it basically means there's no (current) solution. i can either have 'on device' work (email without plugboard) or I can have my series work correctly (email with plugboard), but i can't have both.
it's unfortunate, since that basically renders this awesome plugin useless to me, since as soon as i plugboard my series titles in, it loses the 'on device' and can no longer recognize series info.
it would work fine via USB, but that's simply not an option for me. if we were able to affect the name matching for 'on device' somehow (like, tell it to ignore the series info via a regular expression) i could get around it, but that's currently not exposed.
