And it would be understandable if they decided not to.

But, the Kobo devices do support series info. Books downloaded from their server will populate the series info. But, it isn't read from sideloaded books. The KoboTouch driver in calibre can populate it for sideloaded books. That isn't ideal, but it is the way it works.
I wasn't aware of that info, thanks. I buy my books from Amazon and convert to EPUB. At this point, I would have to run my entire library through calibre (again) in order to have them populate the data on the Kobo based on what you are saying?

And then again the other issue is that the Aura 1 only has 8 GB of storage and is still bigger than a 7" tablet.
