@chaley:
I accidentally discovered something today. When I copy the books directly to kindle, without using calibre to "send" tehm to the device, everything (inlucind the dots) works fine. I'm guessing the problem is with my plugboards. If you could check and point a possible problem it would be great

any format > Kindle2

TEMPLATE: {author_sort:re(\, (.).*?( &|$),\, \1\2)}
DESTINATION FIELD: authors

TEMPLATE: {#stripped_series:lookup(.\s,#initials,.,#shortene d,series)}{series_index:0>2s| [|] }{title}
DESTINATION FIELD: title

TEMPLATE: {authors:re(\.,)}
DESTINATION FIELD: authors


* The first one is for making author sort by last name but display the author name normal

* The second is for Seriesorganization

* The third is the one you suggested for removing the periods from authors' name, which worked nice btw
