Question Epub reading/management solution that handles Series

Hi All,

Long time ebook reader here. Started with Palm III and used Clie's, iPod Touch and now iPhone. I use Calibre to manage my collection and currently use Stanza to read. Unfortunately when I'm reading a series by an author and need the next one, I have to open all the author's books and look at the info to find the next book in the series (Calibre added the series info to the Book info).

Is there a different reader available that better handles Series on the iPhone?

I get a list of them from Wikipedia, or the author's web site, or whatever, and put a small .txt file on my Kindle, along with the books, for reference.

Hi Susan,

I do already have the book series info on the device, its in each book's summary metadata. It's just that it's not conveniently displayed by Stanza so I have to do an extra step (like your solution) to get the series info.

I'm curious to see if there's an iOS epub reader that presents the series info while listing the books so we don't need any extra steps.

Using the list option in ibooks might help with that. It will show the full title, author, etc.
