What worked for me and didn't, in trying to make sure books were detected as present on the Kobo (Forma) device.

Thanks David for the advice. Sadly the plugboard method you just described in more detail didn't work for me, nor with any of the four combinations I asked about above (i.e varying the device and authors vs author_sort.)

What DID work, strangely, was simply making sure there was no "and" in the author names.

EXAMPLES

Did NOT get detected on Forma, even when I used the methods above:

Smith, Johnson & Thomas
Smith & Thomas
("and" gets converted to "&" anyway, even if you write "and")

DID get detected on Forma, even BEFORE I used the methods above:

Smith et al
Smith, Johnson, Thomas
Smith; Johnson; Thomas
Smith + Johnson + Thomas

(NOTE: all included first names - skipped for brevity here)
