Ah... I thought it would would combine those fields for me, not that I needed a separate column set up how I wanted it to feed through to my eReader, so thank you for clarifying that.

Resolution:

I created a new column using the 'Column built from other columns' option to automatically combine the author & series for me (Template '{author_sort} - {series}') and made the lookup name for it 'collection'.

Then I went into the device settings and changed the Collections Column to '#collection'.

Added a couple of test books to my eReader... worked perfectly! Amazing feature now that I know how to use it properly; it will make my life so much easier in the future (especially next time I get new one and have add everything again!).

Thank you so much for your help davidfor, I truly appreciate it!
