Is this supposed to happen or am i doing something wrong when converting?
In Calibre the Series metadata should still be there but there are many readers that don't show the series # just the series tag (Sony 505).

I handle this by checking the option Insert the book metadata at the start of the book under "Structure Detection" when converting a book.

This way the first page after the cover has the metadata and at the top it lists the series and the series #. This reassures me that I am in the correct book. I attached a sample of the page that is inserted. You can see that the page includes the title, Series, series#, rating, tags, summary.
