Wait for the next couple of Calibre releases to settle. I hear they are adding features to the Save to Device that might work better for you than the default
Code:
\author\title
when saved to the PEz. I think they assumed all e-book readers would always have a Meta-Data browser to locate.
I save to disk (PEz card)
Code:
\series\series_index-title
which works for me because some books in a series have different authors (combinations). Series index is the order of the books in a series and is prefixed to the title so the list sorts correctly on the PEz.
I have one format of every title from Baen Free Library and all the Baen (promo) CD's on the SD card (~ 300+ titles, all legal). Many of these were already in my dead tree collection so they lost almost nothing giving them away in e form.
