I don't think it's possible to tell Calibre to swap only authors from mobi/azw files and let the others be.

I have to edit the metadata after adding a book anyway, and once in a while make search for authors with commas.

Thank you Its just such a pain if I add lots of kindle books at a time
Seem to spend longer organising them in Calibre than reading sometimes!
All my Epubs are no problem.
Was hoping for a quick easy solution.
