Greetings Mobilereaders!

I'm having an issue with finding metadata for book series. If I have a book that already has the series information but some books I am not sure if they are part of a series or just one-offs. I have tried with a couple of books that I know are in Series and no matter which service I use for the metadata, even downloaded the B&N as well.

I'm hoping that there is some simple step I'm missing. I have gone and come back to calibre a few times trying to correct the issue. I remove the Ids before a search and even tried replacing them with Ids that I know exist on amazon that has the book listed in the series but still, it grabs everything but that.

I view the log and don't really see anything related to the series itself but sometimes the description/comments will have it noted so I feel like I'm just dancing around actually getting the Series listed in the metadata without having to search out and manually put all this in.

I'm at 2.22.0 Calibre, OS X 10.10.3

I've searched and looked through the forums, most of what I find is just information on sorting the books going to the Kindle by series but not actually how to get the series information into the metadata to begin with (without manually entering it)

Any help is appreciated!
