Ok, I've been running into hurdle after hurdle... my basic problem is that I'm trying to deal with 'series' across various devices. I've gotten plugboards to work, but that breaks 'on device' for me, and it also looks bad on some devices (that have limited screen real estate for title).

SO....

I've decided all I want to do for series is generate a report of all series in my library, save it as a file in my library, and upload said file to my devices. That way, if I'm reading a series, I can just open that file, check for the title of the next book, and be done with it. No plugboards, no extra-long titles, just... exactly what I need.

So my question is this - is there an easy way to generate this report? It doesn't need to be fancy, just something like

The Trilogy -
[1] First Book
[2] Second Book
[3] Third Book

John Doe Detective
[1] Doe's Derring Do
[2] Doe Done It

etc...
