I manually installed 5.13.4 yesterday morning. The option to group series was immediately available and I turned it on and then touched Home. I think it must go out to Amazon and download the series data right then because it took over a minute to go back to the home screen. I thought it was hung and was thinking about restarting when it finally finished switching pages. Then, it seemed that nothing happened. My library looked the same as always. Last evening, about 10 hours later, I got the popup that said my books were now in series, and they were. So, I guess there's a long download followed by a long indexing job before you can see the effect of this feature.
I have one series of 11 books where I bought a few from Amazon, borrowed some from the library, and got some on Google Play and converted them to AZW3s with Calibre (and fixed the ASINs so they correctly link to Goodreads). Only the Amazon purchases show up in the series.
Also, I have "home screen view" turned off, so my regular home screen is my library in list format sorted by collection. In this view I used to see my collections plus books that weren't in any collection. Now, I see collections, series, and books that aren't in either. Even if all the books in a series are in a collection, the series still shows up. So basically series are acting as if they are a new type of collection that doesn't float to the top when you sort.
