I'm having the same problem as msr with multiple authors. I can get it to work if I separate the authors with a comma, but not with an ampersand (I seem to recall an ampersand used to work?). For two authors separated by an ampersand - if I edit the metadata, the second one always disappears.

Also, re: Reign's comment - my Calibre library sorts just fine, but my Kindle sorts on the Author field, not the Author Sort field. So if I have first name, last name in the Author field, and last name, first name, in the Author Sort field, my Calibre library sorts on last name, but Kindle sorts on first name (this is clear not just on the Kindle itself, but even in Calibre when I sort by author on my device). I figured this was just a Kindle thing and haven't worried about it, but maybe I'm wrong about this?

(But I just want to say - I'm a new Calibre user, didn't think I needed anything like this for my first five or six months with the Kindle, and I was wrong - it's an amazing piece of software, and I'm very impressed and grateful!)
