I would really like to avoid doing any editing because I don't have access to my computer right now, just my Asus TF101, and I hate the idea of having to do any extra editing other than using a naming convention.

I would appreciate someone enlightening me on this issue. Thank you in advance.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Mantano is reading the Author, Series, Title metadata from inside each epub. I don't think the filename is involved. If you store your books in the Calibre book management system, it will automatically update all this epub metadata as it saves/sends it to your device using its highly customisable save features. If you just drag-and-drop then I think you'll have to make sure each epub's internal metadata is correct beforehand.
