Yes and No, Even though is a tad annoying to have a series truncated so abruptly, I do see the need for it on single word series that happens to be extra long and so I would still like to use it. Going to test out the lengths available to me on the Kindle to see what I can use.

I do like Dmee idea about having a few more letters on the Intitial Column

Code:
Name: #initials Template: {#stripped_series:re([\s]?([^\s]{1,3})[^\s]+(\s|$),\1)}
However I do get and error: I am sure it is something I am doing, but I can't see it, I copied and pasted from your post.

{#stripped_series:re([\s]?([^\s]{1,3})[^\s]+(\s|$),\1)}
Template Value: EXCEPTION: Value: unknown field 1,3
