Two things

I'm a long time believer in Metadata plugboards and use them to automatically "adjust" titles as books are sent via calibre to my Kobo to include series name and sequence in the title. I use
Code:
```
Format: ePub
Device: KOBOTOUCH
Source Template: {series:re(([^\s])[^\s]+(\s|$),\1)}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}
Destination Field: title
```
to change the title to start with an abbreviated version of the Series name and the sequence number (ie HP - 01 - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone)
What option do you have set for Metadata Management in Sending books to devices? I believe that with Automatic that the calibre Kobo driver will add the series data to the book's database record on the Kobo connections AFTER the book has been sent to the device. (Can't do it on the initial send as the database row that needs to be updated does not yet exist).
