I like to read book series in order wherever possible, and I’ve noticed that some book series I’ve got, show the number of the release as an extra line on the My Books page on my Kobo (see attached photo showing what I mean)

Most of my books don’t show this extra line even those that are obviously in a series.

I’ve looked at the metadata in Calibre and cannot see where Kobo is reading this extra info from. Would like to be able to configure all the other book series I have to display in the same manner.

Does anyone have any ideas how I would achieve this?
The series information on the device is set from the series information in the calibre library. If you haven't set that, then it can't be sent to the device. Also, it is not set when the book is sent to the device. You have to send the book, disconnect the device and let it import the book. When you connect the device again, calibre will update the database on the device with the series information. And with firmware 4.20.x and calibre 4.12, the Series tab will also be populated.


And Jon, can you do everyone a favour and actually read the post before answering. The OP is asking about series info in general, not the Series tab. All versions of the firmware for a Clara HD support series info. And any version of calibre that can communicate with a Clara HD will set the series info.
