My Calibre library does have a separate subtitle column. Also a series column. This works well with any Kobo ereader. Irrelevant if epub2 or epub3 or kepub format.

If I was fussed on reading on my Kindles I'd do custom template for title combining subtitle and series, as Amazon or publishers now often do. Often when I import azw3 / mobi/ kfx /epub from any source of download I have to cut up and paste the title to title, subtitle and series. Too often the author has to be edited, even if only title case instead of all caps.
