Series info on kindle touch
Hi,
I have a kobo, and this shows series info for all my books. One of my kids has a kindle, and this doesn't appear to show series info. I've read that mobi doesn't have the correct metadata to show series info, but I wondered if the newer AZW3 format does? Or is renaming the titles the only way to see serie info on kindle? Thanks! |

That is correct; the "Dublin Core Metadata" standard, which both ePub and Mobi books use, does not include series information. You basically have two choices:
1. Use collections. 2. As you suggest, prefix the title with series information. If you use Calibre, this can be automated using a metadata plugboard. |

I didn't say that they were mutually exclusive choices .
