Hello there, I'm struggling with Calibre and Kindle trying to get the author name to display correctly.
The problem is that authors whose have periods in their name end up having their name partially hidden when i transfer the book to Kindle.

Let's take for example the author J. K. Rowling.
In my current calibre and Kindle configurations, the author_sort is Rowling, J. K. and author name should display J. K. Rowling. All works well while at Calibre, but after transfering the file to Kindle, the name I get for author is J Rowling
Get the picture?

I know it's a simple thing and I know I'm being stubborn (I could just remove the damn periods and be happy) but I was wondering if there is a way to make Kindle display them correctly, maybe with some tweaking on Calibre configs (and I feel dumb for not being able to make it work hahaha)
