I was always a strong advocate for Open Systems, so having interoperating applications is second nature to me. I just don't get today's closed-shop/eggs-in-one-basket/walled-garden/ mentality. But I appreciate that's what most folks prefer.

Calibre is open source. It shouldn't be too hard to to create a private fork that had the specific Author columns you want, along with attendant maintenance functionality etc.
