Hello people, I hope you can shed some light on the following.

When browsing through my books on my Sony PRS-T1, I noticed there were some errors in the author names that were displayed underneath the title of the book. I opened Calibre to correct the metadata, but the error wasn't there.

I noticed the following. When I'm in the 'edit metadata' screen, there is a button on the right, (that looks just like the metadata-button). When hoovering over it, it says "Set metadata for the book from the selected format". When I click this, the author field is set to the erroneous name I see in my reader. But I don't know how to edit this field.

The only solution I found is opening the EPUB in a program called 'EPubMetadataEditor' and edit the creator-field there. But how can I do this from Calibre?

Apparently there is a field that my reader uses, but I can't find it in Calibre...
