they want to monitor everything you do with your Kindle. So I ditched them.
That's why I don't use "send to Kindle" and usually keep my Kindle in airplane mode.

The "silly long name" is exactly the problem. The font size is set to default but with some series I still won't be able to see the title because of the length of the whole thing. I usually know what series a book is part of, so I won't even need that part, it's just the order that I often mix up.

Also, even if you do this, if you number your books with decimals (for short stories/novellas in the middle of a series of books), there is no way to get them to sort properly amongst your other books.
Kindle doesn't sort [3], [3.5] and [4] in the correct order?
