Quality Check > Fix > Reformat Author Initials.Quality Check > Check Metadata > Check Authors Initials,.Quality Check > Customize Plugin > Other Options > Author Initials Format = AB,.The first step in fixing this is using the Quality Check plugin to get rid of all periods in author names: That resulted in all kinds of weird things under the Author shelf (basically, any time the Kobo saw punctuation in the author field, it made what followed another author). In Calibre, I had set both my author and author_sort formats to LN, FN. Kobos are, apparently, persnickety regarding author name formats and the Author "shelf" on the device.Under Preferences > Change Calibre Behavior > Conversion > Common Options > Page Setup, I changed the Input Profile from Kindle to Default and the Output Profile from the Kindle one to Tablet.Under Preferences > Get Plugins to Enhance Calibre, I installed the Kobo Utilities, KoboTouchExtended and Quality Check plugins (I already had Quality Check, but it's a must-have for the steps below).That way, Calibre keeps the metadata in sync on every device connect. This isn't unique to Kobos, but since I'm doing a lot more with metadata here than I did with my Kindles, I went to Preferences > Import/Export > Sending Books to Devices > Metadata Management and set that to Automatic Management.Is there anything else I should be aware of? Is there a thread somewhere that's packed with current goodness about this?ĮDIT: For future generations, I'll just put a final list of the things I did in Calibre when I switched from Kindles to Kobos (specifically, the Forma).

Is there anything particular I'll need to do to get my Calibre library over to those Formas? I assume I'll need to install the Kobo Utilities plugin, change the Page Setup Input/Output Profiles from the current Kindle ones to the Default Profiles, convert all my books over to epub and save those epubs to the Formas.
OP: Hopefully, in a few days, we'll be getting a couple of Kobo Formas to replace our aging Kindles.
