Book Sequence Prefix

denmarks · 02-10-2022, 05:08 PM

Many of my books are series. I normally add a prefix to the "title" but not the "title sort" so I will read in sequence. When you change the title within Calibre does it change the internal title in the book so it will show up on the Kindle? I normally do a conversion, even if to the same file type to be safe. Is that necessary?

I have basically the same question with the cover. Does changing it in the metadata change it in the book or is a conversion required?

BTW: I use the SendToKindle app to transfer books rather than using Calibre.

Use the Plugboard (you can use ALL if you only have kindles, otherwise pick the format. You might nee multiple lines, 1 for each format you use

{series_index}-{title} --> {title}
