G, I downloaded 6.42 this morning and tried it my Houck and Hellman books referred to in my original post. Drum roll! Perfect they now show up properly by author or any other way.

Now there is some slight problem with PRC's. That is if a conversion leaves one with both the PRC and the new mobi then the calibre library. looks fine but the Kindle device still screws up (That's a scientific term!) the author and in many cases the title. Removing the mobi and only allowing the PRC file fixes that.

Now lastly on some Mobilereference books (PRC), nothing I do seems to allow editing of the metadata. This is odd because in other PRC's it works.

Overall only minor irritants on the Kindle but since now all authors show correctly calibre is Golden.

Thanks,

Malcolm
