Given the limitations of the kindle software I played around with various options for series. I tried adding series names and cryptic abbreviations for series names but it simply made the titles too long. I've settled on having each author have it's own collection and my series titles show as Title [series #] and by editing the publication date so the first book is Jan 1 of some year, the next is Feb 1 of that year, ect. As long as each series for an author has it's own publication year the series show within the author/collection in the correct order and grouped together by series.
It's a bit of a pain making the metadata edits as each book is downloaded to Calibre but as long as the DRM is removed I'll only have to do the editing once for any future devices. Of course that means the cloud is all but useless to me because my edits don't show in the downloaded books.
