Hi Renate,

Thanks for responding.

Sorry, but I don't know what you mean by the distinction between "print string" and "sort string". I will have to go back and reread the Calibre manual ;-)

I don't have any music (yet), so the problem with individual artists vs. groups doesn't arise for me.

I would like to ignore the articles at the beginning of titles, but have given up:
1. There is no consistency in the titles as received or as displayed. Titles are displayed differently on the Poke3 from in Calibre. For example, "The Defenders" in Calibre and "Defenders, The" on the Poke3.
2. It is probably hopeless anyway, since I have titles in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian.

Probably a topic for a new thread in the Calibre section: if I have my smartphone docked, Calibre 7.7.0 shows "Main (2 books)" in the "On Device" column by some titles and even "Main (2 books)" by one. What does this mean? I'm pretty sure that I don't have these books on my smartphone, much less multiple copies!
