Hi all,

I just bought my first e-reader and transferred all my e-books from the computer from the latest version of Calibre. While I've set up my whole collection almost flawlessly, one book, an epub, is giving me issues.

In Calibre, the author appears as "John Smith" with the sort title as "Smith, John." On my Kobo, the book appears under the author "Smith" as well as the author "John." I've tried everything, including changing the author's name to "John Smith I" and deleting the e-book from my library and adding it back. On the Kobo device, the file folder is called "Smith, John" so I have no idea why just the Kobo software is recognizing it as two distinct authors.

I should also note that out of my thousands of e-books, this is the only one that's behaving this way.

Is this a known bug and is there a way to fix it?
