  1. Use the Series and Number metadata fields in Calibre to set the series name and number in the series for each book
  2. Go to Preferences / Change Calibre Behaviour, under Advanced select Plugins, expand Device interface plugins, scroll down and select the KoboTouch plugin, and click on Customize plugin
  3. Ensure that "Read metadata from files on device" and "Set series information" are checked and click OK
  4. Delete the books from your reader and re-send them from Calibre

Now, when you view book titles on your reader in the library or shelves, between book title and author name you will see <series name> - <number>. This works for me with Aura HD. I don't have a Touch, Glo, or Mini to test with, but they use the same device interface plugin so I would assume you can set the series information on them in the same way.
This only seems to work for the books I have bought from Kobo, not for the other 400 or so ...
