If you don't like that, anything deterministic is better than a random one.

I'm not generating a UUID. I'm reading the database to get the UUID for books from Kobo along with their series name. If a sideloaded book has the same series name and author, I use the UUID. Otherwise, I just use the series name. I have had this working in the driver and plugin with no problems since about 24 hours after the Series tab hit the betas.
The issues I have found have been related to bad series data. The series name from Kobo isn't always consistent. I have a couple of examples where one book has a slightly different series name than the others. (Some have "The xxxx" and others "xxxx"). And I have a few books that download with the series id, but no series name. And this was device dependent. I had to sign-out of the account on the device to fix it. It was something cached on Kobo's side. it seemed to only affected books I had for a while. In at least one case, I think when I bought it it wasn't part of a series and was added to a "Sci Fi Masterworks" series later.
Overall, if the series info in the books is good, the series tab works well. My desire now is for a filter along the lines of "don't show series with only 1 book in it".

No wonder why I couldn't find that. I was seeing if I could patch a few things about it I was planning to try with the previous version.

I thought the old version was there. There might be some A/B testing going on with it.

And for the record, I'm on Easy level 116.
That would probably fit.
