One thing, though -- It seems that for this to work, the "Update metadata on Book Details pages" box in the driver must remain checked. This means longer processing time every time the reader is connected.

I wonder if there is another way to accomplish this in calibre when sending new books to the Kobo.
Not if you want if you want it in the subtitle. If you put it in the comments or title, using a metadata plugboard will update new books as they are sent, and the device will read this information during the import process. To use the subtitle or series, the book needs to have been imported on the device so that the updates can be made to the database. The update is fairly fast as it only makes updates where there is a difference between what is in the calibre library and what is retrieved from the database on the device when the list of books is fetched. If you send 1000 books to the device, the next time you connect it takes time. But, if you are only sending a few books at a time, it is much less noticeable.

You can also do this using the metadata update function in my Kobo Utilities plugin. With that, you can do it for selected book.
