and use this as 'Source template' of both Metadata Plugboards

{author_sort}{series:| - | }{series_index:0>5.1f}

Using your example, you should see on the PRST1
1st line: Twilight
2nd line: Meyer, Stephenie - The Twilight Saga 001.0


If it's still not working then perhaps you should try doing it in 2 stages:

• Revisit the instructions, check every step and use exact same settings as I used for the PRST1. Connect PRST1 to calibre. Once its finished its connection routine, disconnect. Make sure all the series info is visible. Does your reader Booklist now resemble the PRS650 image (without the rolodex initials down the righthand side)?
• If 'no', I'm stumped
• If 'yes', you can go back to the steps above and replace
  

  {series_index:0>2s}

  with
  

  {series_index:0>5.1f}

  in all the templates.

P.S I'm glad you're going out. It's 2:30am here, I'm off to bed.

Well, that all worked like a charm, somewhere along the way I messed up the numbers/title tags, but just got rid of what I'd done and started from scratch again and it all worked beautifully! I think I stumbled because the KoboTouch was basically just adding the plugboard, not creating columns and such, but it's all great now and exactly what I wanted!

I apologize for bothering you and thank you again so very much for your patience and kindness.
