Q: When I download a book in ePub, an author's name usually starts with the first name and ends with the last like William Shakespeare. I prefer organizing my books by author's last name: Shakespeare, William. I have a few thousand books in my electronic library and it makes the search easier if the naming of all of the books is consistent. So how can I change the writer's name in my ePub files?
