Thanks DaleDe - I should have mentioned that I'd been looking at the Wiki already to find Freda and Book Bazaar:

I couldn't get Book Bazaar (or Freda for that matter) to even let me manually arrange series of books d/l from calibre web.
Unfortunately the Wiki isn't terribly detailed and I've not yet been able to locate anything which groks both OPDS and series:

Actually since I can sync my whole Calibre library I'd be Ok with something which is OPDS ignorant if it could access my Calibre library on disk and somehow comprehend series (maybe use the Calibre metadata)....

That's as far as I've gotten so far: Calibre understands Calibre but isn't a terribly good reader app. The decent reader apps don't understand Calibre/OPDS enough to organize books by series

Thanks!
