As long as you have the series info properly filled out in calibre, the titles of books will be automatically updated with the series when you send-to-device.
My plugboard:
Code:
{title}{#subseries:| (|, }{#subseries_index:|Book |)}{series:| (|, }{series_index:|Book |)}
(Ignore the custom columns. EDIT: Yes, that means you probably want to delete my grayed-out custom columns, unless you wish to duplicate my setup -- else you will get a template error.) [added my edit to save future confusion -- eschwartz]

Shows up as "title (subseries, Book #)(series, Book #)"
Fantastic!

Having never done this, is this the correct way to do it?

I'm not sure which Kindle to choose for the latest Paperwhite, so I chose any device.
