1. buy book from amazon.co.uk , download it to Kindle for PC
2. open kindle for PC folder, find the book & drag/drop into main calibre window
The author then appears in calibre as last name,first name
ticking/unticking the box on add books preferences for swap first & last name has no effect on the above.
( In Kindle for PC , [home page ]the author name is shown correctly
So do I need to use a different import method or change a different preference somewhere - either in the plug in or in the main calibre program?

Speaking personally, what you're seeing is the way I want it to be - authors listed alphabetically by surname. When you look a book up in a catalogue of authors, you'd presumably search for "Dickens, Charles", not "Charles Dickens", hence "Dickens, Charles" is what I want to see in Calibre.
