Keep "Series" metadata when transferring from device to library

Hello.

I am currently transferring all my ebook files off an ereader and into my Calibre library.

When I do this, the "Series" metadata does not carry over with the ebook into the library. Other metadata such as title, author, and publisher carry over without issue.

Is it possible to transfer ebooks off an ereader and into a Calibre library and keep/carry over the series metadata?

Thank you.

What reader? From your profile I think you have a Kindle Voyage; unfortunately I don't believe you can retrieve that from the device.

However once you do have the books in calibre, the update metadata function will retrieve info from the web, including series data.
