Kindle + Calibre = Issues with Series Management
Hi all,

I had my books wonderfully organized in Calibre with title, author, series, tags, etc. I use Kindle Paperlight for reading and I was having issues with series management on the device itself.

The solution I had found for that was renaming the books as they get sent to my Kindle. I created an order to name the books: Series [XX] Title

That works well enough for Kindle, but ... now those books are renamed in my Calibre library, as well.
  1. How do I stop them from being renamed in the library, and keep the renamed version just on Kindle?
  2. Is there a way to automatically name them back to their old form, keeping in mind these are many books from different authors and different series now?

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
