Thank you all for the replies. I did some more experimenting. If all of the metadata in Calibre has the author as last name, first name, then the authors display properly in Calibre and the Reader with last name, first name. Is there any way to automate author display in Calibre? I suspect that if Calibre sent Author Sort instead of Author over in the metadata, the Reader would display last name, first name with the authors in alphabetical order, but could be wrong on that.

I'm finding that I have update the metadata for each author to get this to work. That's not the end of the world, but it already shows Author Display as last name, first name, so it would be nice if that was an option under preferences. Would this be a new feature request?
