Hi,

I'm going to get an OYO ebook-reader for christmas and have started checking out what's available in terms of ebooks. So I stumbled over calibre which works just fine on my LinuxMint 10 64bit PC. However, when trying to add some books from a DVD, I noticed a serious problem:
The sorting by author's name only seems to use the last word in the field for sorting, and unfortunately, the fields are filled in in the manner "last name, first name". So I have a hard time finding certain authors, bcause it all seems to be upside down. It starts with "Hoffmann, E.T.A.", then comes "Christen, Ada", then little later "Wette, Adelheid" and so on. As I do not know the first name of all the authors, but usually the last name, I'm sometimes stuck finding a particular author (there are now about 3000 books in the collection).

The other thing I noticed while importing was the report of duplicates: calibre seems to look only for the title to determine duplicates, and that's quite dangerous. I have many books that are titled "poems" in the collection, so I have to allow the duplicates to be added. However, there are also some real duplicates. It would be imperative to check the author's name too when checking for duplicates.

Hope I don't roll up something that's been answered and/or discussed elsewhere, I looked around, but didn't find anything that would help me.

Will there be support for the OYO?
The calibre version I'm using is 0.7.18
