This is kinda what was going through my mind.

This would then bring up the issue about the way Calibre physically stores the ebook. Since its stored by author/title/nameofbook, seems it would be difficult for Calibre to decide which author is the primary author.

There ought to be a new field like 1st author, 2nd author, etc. Or at least have the option of adding an author and then having Calibre always use the first author to store the book under.

dunno.. just thinkin' out loud.
