Yes, I'd recommend this too. I have almost 2000 books on my Voyage and, because of plugboards, don't feel the slightest need to use collections. I have mine set up so the resulting books look like:

Miss Marple 01 - The Body in the Library
Miss Marple 02 - The Murder at the Vicarage
etc.

Format: azw3 (use mobi if your books are in mobi format)
Device: Kindle2 (I think all the newer e-ink Kindles work with Kindle2)
Source Template: {series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
Destination Field: title
Why not just use "Any Device" and "Any Format"? Do you really only want AZW3 format on your Kindle to have series information added?
