My dad & I email books back & forth to each other. But even if I edit metadata to include the &'s separating multiple authors and/or convert the ebooks........when I "connect/share" this book to him or vice versa....when they are added to Calibre--they revert to being separated by semicolons.
Very frustrating to have to remember to go back and change the semicolons to ampersands. That is the only change that doesn't transfer over when email sharing through the program. Really wish they would allow the authors to transfer over as is instead of standardizing them to all be separated by semicolons. Is this even a possiblity for a future update?
Any helpful comments are welcomed.

GirlCami,
Welcome to Mobileread
When you say you have to separate authors by '&' in order for the book to be added to the collection, could you give a more detailed example.
Its not clear if you are asking for something in Calibre to be modified or in the Calibre Kindle Collections plugin (if that's what you are using). The plugin (if that's what you are using) reads the Author information from Calibre. Calibre stores the authors as a list of individual authors.
Either way this might be best in the Calibre forum.
