This may (or may not) take a while, so please bear with me.
I like that Kobo started offering the option to sort by series. In Calibre I have all of my books metadata filled in, including the series name and book number in the series. When I add books to my Kobo (Glo HD and Aura One) the series information isn't there. What I end up doing after I've added books to the reader is...

1. make a new folder for the series on the reader
2. move the books to the folder
3. plug my reader back into my computer
4. open Caliber
5. go to my device
6. highlight all of the books in the series on the device
7. open "Manage Series Information On Device" in KoboUtilities
8. move the books into the correct order and change the starting number back to 1
9. hit OK

This seems a bit excessive. My only guess is that it's because all of my books in the Calibre library are epubs and I have the Kobo Touch Extended Driver installed that converts them to kepub before transferring them, and for some reason the series information is being lost. Anyone else having the same problem? Anyone else have a different idea what's happening?
