Amazon are terrible. Wrong series numbering (or none) is common. Yet unless you remove DRM and sideload on a Kobo you can't have corrected title, author, series, original publication date, traditional paperback cover art, and a sane blurb.
I tend to fix books as I get them, or not bother. Sometimes if an "important" book I'll fix everything. I always fix series numbering. Sometimes Wikipedia is good for that and often Goodreads and Amazon are useless. The various "books in order" sites can be better.
