Next: Why are you using the O/S (which does not do all the neat, additional Kindle things)?
Metadata Plugboards offer to insert or modify Kindle recognized fields.
Calibre does an outstanding job sending books to a Kindle
I use USB with the plugboard set to insert series_index into the title.
I also use Kindle Collections to turn Series into a 'Collection" (coupled with the plugboard use, series in reading order )
From what I can see, 93terp is using the save to disk feature to save the books to a folder on his/her hard drive, and then copying that folder to the Kindle. He/she is not touching the official library folders at all.

Am I stating things correctly, 93terp?
