Hi all - I'm a new user to the kindle. I have some Epub books which i have used calibre to copy on to my kindle. However when I look at Books on the device and then click sort by Author - all I get is the same book front covers for all my books - they are not grouped by author at all, and they don't seem to be in any order - for example I have Leechild books, then a Michael Connelly, then a load of Grishams, then back to Lee Child - it doesn't seem to be doing any sorting. when i look at the metadata for the epubs in Calibre, they have Author sort titles set the same, Child, Lee for example. not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it seems like the author sort option is either not very useful, or not working for me?
