- in my opinion it is no way to change or modify the field "author" every time I want to sent a book to the tolino.

Yes you can change the author field when you send a book to a device. See Preferences / Metadata plugboards. Pick the format you want (EPUB?) and the device (Tolino?).
If you want only the first author in First-name Last-name format then use this template with the destination field "Authors"
Code:
{authors:'swap_around_comma(list_item($, 0, '&'))'}
For example, if the authors are
Code:
Public, John & Blogs, Joe
this template will return
