But how to display a simple list of the authors I have on my Kobo ?


Does every reader needs to be a sql geek to have an author index?

Thanks for your comments.

The only simple way I found is to make a catalog in Calibre and send it to the kobo. Actually, I have two, since I have 1800+ books on the Aura and a total of 3500+ on calibre, and Aura can't deal with the catalog of the complete calibre library with details.
So I have a "light" complete catalog with only authors and genre, and a catalog with also descriptions of the books on the Aura (13 MB).
