This is entirely up to you.
Letting Calibre update the metadata upon
Send to device is probably the easiest.
Personally, I treat Calibre as kind of a black box. I use
Save to disk to keep copies of books with edited metadata to a folder in my HDD using my preferred directory and file naming structure. Then I just drag and drop from the
Save to disk folder to my Kindle (robocopy batch file, really). For me, this is quicker than using Calibre to manage the Kindle.
On
Preferences -
Metadata plugboards (under Import/export heading), I have this set up:
Format: mobi
Device: any device
Note: If you're using Send to device, you'd probably want to use Format: any format and Device: KINDLE. If you're okay with all exported books (content server, email, save to disk, send to device) having title of Series 01 - Title format, you can use Format: any format and Device: any device
Source template:
Code:
{series}{series_index:0>2s| | - }{title}
Destination field: title
If a series exists, this changes the title of the saved/exported mobi to the following:
Series 01 - Title
