- in my calibre library (and it is a big one) all metadata for all books are in the same form. when I startet a few years ago I decided for myself to have the same profile for the fields "author" and "author sorting" that means both fields are the same, i.e. "Grisham, John"
- in my opinion it is no way to change or modify the field "author" every time I want to sent a book to the tolino.
Yes you can change the author field when you send a book to a device. See Preferences / Metadata plugboards. Pick the format you want (EPUB?) and the device (Tolino?).

If you want only the first author in First-name Last-name format then use this template with the destination field "Authors"
Code:
{authors:'swap_around_comma(list_item($, 0, '&'))'}
For example, if the authors are
Code:
Public, John & Blogs, Joe
this template will return
Code:
John Public
