No need at all to create a plugboard for series info!

My setup is as follows:

• No Plugboard
• Books have correct series info entered in via calibre
• Sending books to devices save template of

  {author_sort}/{title} - {authors}

• Driver setup as follows:
  • Automatic Metadata Management
  • Read Metadata from files on device
  • Use Sub Directories
  • Save Template:

    {author_sort}/{series}{series_index:0>2s| - | - }{title}

  • Shelf names:

    #myshelves, series

    myshelves is a custom column of type comma seperated text, like tags, shown in the tag browser that I use to define additional shelves for some books
