If Kobo made the Author tab look identical at the top to the Books, Series, and Collections tab (i.e. sort options in a non-fat pill selection, and the ... on the far right which allows for a few options in the other tabs), they could put an x of y page number there. I've looked at a patched Forma, an unpatched Forma, and a Aura H2O v1 to consider this placement. I think this would even work with large print mode enabled, though it may be a bit crunched. Not that I think that'd look particularly good overall, it wouldn't be clear from a UI/UX stance that those numbers related to the pages of the tabs.
Honestly I'd wait before whinging too much over the current UI/UX changes. I agree with David that this feels like the start of a slow overhaul. The fact that the tabs aren't even universal in appearance (why is Authors the -only- one w/ a highlighted filter selection pill, no cover view, etc).
