Gotta 'nother question ...

I have yet another question ... (can you tell I sat in the front of the class with my hand raised??? )

I've been sideloading books on my new Glo slowly ... because I want to see how different settings affect things ... to find my favorite.

I have four book that I purchased from Kobo that are parts of various series.

They show up like this:

Title of Book
Name of series - # of book
Author of Book

I have other non-Kobo epubs that don't show the series info.

I added the kepub converter to Calibre and converted a few books to kepub.

They show up as kepubs on the list, but they don't show the series information, even though it's in the metadata.

Also, I changed the titles of some books using Calibre .... mostly to remove the stuff after the title that's in parenthesis.

But, when I sideloaded to the Glo, the stuff in parenthesis reappeared. (these were sideloaded as epubs, not kepubs)

I'm using the KoboTouch driver, not the KoboTouchExtended driver.

Should I use the Extended driver? Does it matter?

Is it possible to get the series info to show up under the titles?
(I know that I can make the series info become custom shelves ... I'd like it to show up under the titles like the Kobo books....)

When I'm in the "On Device" view, I can right click on the book and choose "Manage Series Information in Device Library" ... There is nothing under "original series", but the info I added is under "new series". On the Kobo books, I see that there is the info I want under "original series". I can't change the "original series" info ...

Is it possible to keep the title I choose in the metadata when transferring the books using Calibre?
Can I use Calibre to clean the titles up?
Wait, I just found that .... I see that I can do that ...

So, now just want to do the series thing ...
