Help showing series info please.
Can some kind person explain in simple terms what I need to do to get series info showing on my Glo HD?
I have checked in Calibre that the series info is in the metadata but I dont know how to get it to appear in Kobo.
I started to read about plugboards and got totally confused.
Is there a simple way to achieve this ?
Thanks.

You need to set two things:
- In the driver configuration, there is an option setting the series info. You need to set this in whichever of the KoboTouch or KoboTouchExtended drivers you use.
- On the "Sending books to devices" page of the preferences, set "Metadata Management" to automatic.

With these options, the series info will be updated whenever you connect to calibre. If you send a new book to the device, it isn't set until after the device has processed the book into its internal database. You need to connect again to set the series info for new books.

Thanks for your reply. Are the drivers in Calibre or in the Glo ?

In calibre. The simplest way to find them is to connect the device when calibre is running. Then, right click on the device button in the toolbar and select the configure option.
