I am a new user of Calibre. I am using it with my new PRS-505. First let me say it is a great tool. Now I have some questions that I couldn't find an answer to in the forums or the documentation.

1. I have many books I have purchased from Sony Connect (.lrx). Unfortunately they are not very good at being consistent in their meta-data for the author. Sometimes it is last name, first name and other times it is first name last name. This leads to poor sorts in the "Books by Author" menu. I can change the meta-data in my Calibre library but when the book is moved to the Reader it must use the book's meta-data and reverts to the inconsitent authors. Is there a way to change the underlying meta-data or what Reader stores? Or am I out-of-luck because the book is copy protected?

2. Is there a way to tell Calibre to automattically create a collection per author? Or do I have to add a tags for this?

3. If I update the tag information in my library is there a quick way to update the information to my Reader, a sort of re-sync capability? If not, do I have to re-send the book to my reader to get the new tags (catagories) created? Also, if I remove a tag from a book will it remove it from the Reader's catagories? Is there a way to delete a catagory?

Thanks.
