I'm still not sure what you mean. I don't have "My Book" anywhere on the device that I can think of. There is "My Books" on the home screen as a tile showing three books and at the bottom of the screen. When I tap either of those, it displays lists with four tabs at the top: "Books", "Authors", "Series" and "Collections".

To see the unread books, I tap "My Books", then the "Books" tab and see a list of books. Then I tap the "Filter" drop down and select "Unread".

I can see the list of authors by tapping the "Authors" tab when in the "My Books" screens. That shows the list of all authors for my books. Is this the place you are talking about? I have never noticed a missing author, but, I have enough books and hence authors that it would be hard to prove that some were missing.

If it is the author list, this is built from the authors for all your books. Kobo treat the comma as the separator between multiple authors. If the books have something like "FN1 LN1 & FN2 LN2", it will be treated as one author. But, if you are missing authors in the author list, what is actually missing? If you only have one and think it should be three, then you should be able to see what authors are missing. It's possible there is a bug with the author name handling. But, if we know what it missing, maybe we can work out why. And you will have details to report to Kobo so that they can fix the bug.
