Ok, well nothing good. So, the CBZ file was not sent to /Comics/Buffy-Angel/Buffy-Angel - 01 - Angel_ The Curse.cbz as I had hoped (typo in my last post, should have been {series}\{series}{series_index:0>2s| – | – }{title}). Oddly, it did not throw an error, it just put the file in /Comics/Buffy-Angel_Buffy-Angel - 01 - Angel_ The Curse.cbz. Which looks like it just ignored the directory slash.

Upon closer reading here: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/tem...send-templates, I see they point out exactly that. Which is truly unfortunate. I understand it is easier to just allow Calibre to organize my library on the computer's file system for me because it is the GUI that displays the information. The GUI that displays the information on a device is not under Calibre's control, which is why I was hoping I would have a little more control over it.

Just to close the loop, with these setting when trying to transfer a book with no series information, I did get an error. But I expected that.

Looks like I will have to manually move things around on the device, which stinks a little. I wish I could just convert all these CBZ/Rs to mobi and read everything in the kindle app, but they look horrible after conversion.

Hope this post saves someone else time.
