Thanks for the information. This nicely replicates what I was doing manually in Calibre where I was manually updating the title with the series number.
I've tested this out and in general it seems to work. I have one or two instances where it doesn't. Can't see anything obvious, any ideas?
I was hoping to just drag/drop from Calibre to iBooks in the iMac so that the standard Apple functionality would take care of the syncing but I'm finding there are many things that I really do not like about the iMac version of iBooks. The worst is that it seems impossible to combine genre and series in any meaningful way.
On my previous windows install from PC to iPads with iTunes sync I had very few issues both the genre (tags in Calibre) and the series came down into the iPad/iPhone. If I looked at categories I would see the books grouped by series and books not in a series would be grouped in the category. If I looked by author
then again I would see for each book the series on the right hand side and if not in a series the the category (genre) shows
It seems to be impossible to replicate this in iMac iBooks and when synced to the iPads/iPhones the only series that you can see is where you have purchased a book in a series from the Apple store.
To be honest this implementation of iBooks seems really "flacky" so I am considering going Marvin for Epubs and keeping iBooks for PDF (where series is not really an issue.
Or is it me?
