I was hoping in the edit screen I could click on the Author's link at the bottom and the author list would appear with my current authors pre-selected; but alas that does not happen.

I am sure others have done the same kind of thing -- what is the correct technique?
Not sure if this can be done in a single step (or using a VL )
VL's are based upon preset criteria
When you edit inside a VL, you only see books that match. It is possible to remove/change a value that may later disqualify VL membership list (refresh is not automatic. It needs a trigger event)

I don't see a way to tag all authors that have ondevice:true for one or more books

Quickview will show all books (if in All Books view or current VL) for a selected author (that is shown with a ondevice tick).
But I am at a loss on how to SAVE those
