Author separator "," vs "&"?
Does not seem to make difference weather i use coma "," as author separator or "&". However & is easier to see in book description.
Is it okay to use "&" as author separator? |

Yes, because Calibre is designed only for use "&" as author separator.
The comma "," is the separator character for 'Name, First name' (often used invisibly for sorting for example). 'Frank Herbert & Brian Herbert' => 'Herbert, Frank & Herbert, Brian' A text like 'Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert' will be invalid and does not allow normal use of Calibre. |

Calibre treats authors like "John Smith & Jan Newman" as a two separate authors and creates appropriate database entries for them. Coma is usually used when you want to list names like "Smith, John" as some people prefer. |
