Series info
Recently purchased (or borrowed) books now show on my Kobo Glo with the series name and number. Hooray!

It's great that this now happens ... but how do I get older books to show similar information? I have tried comparing the metadata information and I can't see what's different. Deleting the books from the reader and from Calibre and then re-importing them doesn't make a difference.

If you have the driver configured properly, the series information will be added the next time you connect the device. This will happen for all books that are on the device and match a book that is the calibre library.

For books that are not in the calibre library, you can use my Kobo Utilities plugin to manage the series info on the device. This is done from the device list and the function is called "Manage series on device" or something like that (I can't check right now).

Then you will need to configure the KoboTouch driver, or the KoboTouchExtended driver to get the series info on the device. The second post in Kobo Device Driver Update has instructions. The config dialog has changed recently, but the options are the same.
