Indeed, the process has to be done in two waves: 1) the book, 2) the data

Actually, instead of using the "update metadata" (which ended up in database corruption in the old days for me, happy to see it is flowless now folks!) you can also just re-send the books to the device.
Just resending the books doesn't actually do anything. The firmware doesn't extract the series info from the books and it doesn't reprocess books that have been resent by calibre. The simplest way for the series info to be updated is with the appropriate options in calibre and the KoboTouch driver. When connected, the series info is check for all books and any that does not match the calibre library are updated in the database on the device. This doesn't touch the book files and only works for books that have been processed into the database on the device and in the calibre library.
