A followup on mulitple authors. If you set the author sort field to "Weber, David;Flint, Eric" it will sort properly and show on the Kindle as "David Weber and Eric Flint". Note there is NO space after the semi-colon but there MUST be a space after the commas.
There is a minor problem in Calibre with the conversion. Checking the MOBI file properties will show the author field as "Weber, David;Flint, Eric;Weber, David;Flint, Eric". I don't know if this is a display error in the Calibre viewer or what.
It would be nice if a Calibre developer added a feature/preference to the 'automatically set author sort' option to use the semi-colon format instead of the ampersand format it uses now.
An even better feature would be to allow editing of the metadata in the MOBI file so we don't have to run a book conversion just to update the metadata in the actual file. This would be the reverse of the feature in the edit metadata dialog that can copy the MOBI metadata into the Calibre metadata fields.
