I have them all on my pc and for the most part, will be accessing from home.

Are you talking about the file name or the title in the metadata?

I would like to have it appear on the device that way. I want to be able to access from the device the library without sitting at the computer. Is that possible?

If it is the file name, then you will be using either send-to-device or save-to-disk to get the book where you want to read it. Both of these have a save template. You can set this to use the appropriate metadata elements as part of the file name.

My books are loaded to calibre and since reading an answer to Tweetygirl found out how to make a column from a column to have this information in a separate column. However, it does not show up that way on the pc part of the calibre library. So if I use "kindle send to library feature on the kindle pc app and have a copy sent to the kindle cloud it won't show the series series# title on the device.

If it is in the metadata, then you can use a metadata plugboard to set the title. These can be set differently for each device, or you can use a common one.

The template used for both of the above is roughly the same. The plugboad etc template thread has plenty of examples including one that is exactly what you want. This is:

{series:|| }{series_index:0>2s|[|] - }{title}

Thank you so much.
