Just as an aside, a while back I noticed that the Kobs did not display any authors after a certain number of characters. My plugboard appends the series info to the author sort string and puts them in {authors}
This allows me to have the books in series order by sorting by author, which is what I like,

With multiple authors, I would just get the first author and no series.
With an extra long name it was the same.

I got around this by just using the first author in the plugboard, which is fine for me but maybe not for everyone.

I was pretty sure it was a Kobo issue as same plugboard works well on non Kobo readers, so I didn't mention it, but now the topic has come up, I can verify it I think.

What seemed a little odd was that if I had Warren Murphy & Richard Sapir The Destroyer[10] I would get Warren Murphy only, but if I had one author and a long series name I would get as much as would fit on the line. Was 2 .6.1, so it is not overall length AFAIK.
