Sony Reader – Metadata

Note: For the next few posts, I will be discussing my choice of eBook, what I think of the device, the software, and finish off with a few tips for users.
 
In my last post, I mentioned that metadata-handling was my best argument for using Calibre instead of Sony eBook Reader. What I didn’t say, was why.
 
I read several different series of books. Among others, I am currently reading the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. Having bought these with Adobe Digital Editions-protection, I then loaded them into Calibre, and then edited the metadata to reflect that this was a series. I then added info on which number in the series each book was.
 
When I uploaded this to the Reader, each series was recognized as a collection, and the books are displayed in the proper order within each collection.
