Hello,

Just registered to this forum and this is my first post. I have owned a Pocketbook HD3 for about a year now and I am really pleased with it. However, there is one thing that I do not like: the library entries. I have the feeling that I am doing something substantially wrong or that there is some sort of bug.

I edited my books with Calibre (latest version) and made certain that all authors were spelled correctly. When I then check the library of my pocketbook I see that, in many cases, there are several directories for just one author. To mention one: for John Grisham I have three directories: Grisham, Grisham, John and another Grisham, John, although I am certain that I did not misspell his name in Calibre. Also, the number that is shown after the name of the directory (which stands for the number of books in each individual directory, I suppose), are often incorrect.

I have found more than ten authors where this error pops up. Does anyone recognize this? Is there a remedy?

Many thanks!
