Hi all,
I have looked at existing threads without much luck, and instead of appending to an existing thread, as suggested in the thread vthat was closest to what I'm looking to do, I have started a new one.
I have a Kindle Paperwhite 4 (I think) and would like to save more information in the title than just the actual title. AFAICWO, the kindle doesn't allow for folders, and I've tried all the standard pre-provided templates that might match, with no luck. I still get just the title and the author. What I would like to do is concatenate Title with, if they exist Series and Series Index to form a compound title -, but not necessarily in that order. If what I'm trying to do is possible, would it be possible to use a sub-string of the series name rather than the whole verbage?

I'm thinking that, for instance,
Lord of the Rings 3, The Return of the King
could carry the title:

L3 The Return of the King

or:

LotR3 The Lord of the Rings.

Is either of these possible? If so, what would I have to do to achieve the result I'm looking for.

I still want to keep the author field, of course.

Thanking you in anticipation.
