Calibre: Any way to get the Nook to recognize series?

tiltowait · 12-30-2017, 12:40 PM

I like how the Nook (Glowlight 3) will group books by series. Unfortunately, though I have my books' series information set in Calibre, the Nook doesn't seem to recognize it. Is there a special trick, or is this only something that books purchased from B&N get?

I'd like to know too.

From memory on my Nook ST, I had to use a script in Calibre to change the title of the book from Title to Series 1 - Title

I've read about plugboards that do that (I think MTP Device is what you want, or something to that effect), but that wouldn't actually cause them to stack, would it?

Sorry man. I was just saying that in the past Nooks didn't recognize series at all. Now that they do, I hope we figure out what is needed in Calibre to do it properly.
