I am using Calibre to consolidate all my books and to properly add/edit metadata on the files.

I have about 450 books I've sideloaded to the My Documents area on my Nook and on about 10 of the books the author is shown as "Unknown Author". I have carefully added author metadata to all my books in Calibre. Some are .pdb files and other are .epub. I can't determine a pattern. When I look at the books through Calibre, I see they all have authors, but they show up us "Unknown Author" on my device.

Any thoughts on why this metadata may be missing?

Thanks.
