It probably depends on the e-reader and software. I haven't got an ereader (I use PDAs and phones) and some of my software reads the filename, and other software reads metadata.

Plus as I mentioned the data isn't complete at this point so even if I'm just going to populate the Series information in the correct way (using the field in Calibre) I'm still looking at the same bulk edit issue.

Also your right it might be better to use the correct metadata information so that its clean if I switch readers at some point.
You'll have to decide what data you want in Calibre, but I'd lean towards correct metadata if you can get it work with your reader. As to bulk changes, what's wrong with selecting all the books you want to change and using the bulk metadata editor?
