The only thing I'm missing now is a way to go to "authors beginning with M" in the author list, and the search doesn't seem to help much for that. Oh well.

Awesome, happy to help and glad to hear it's working for you!
For “authors beginning with M”, I'm not sure whether you're talking about in Calibre or on the Kobo. In Calibre, you can right-click Authors in the tag browser, and choose “Change sub-categorization scheme” to “By first letter”. (If you have enabled the tweak to show author names as Last, First in the tag browser, then this will use the first letter of their last name – otherwise, of their first name.) If you are talking about on the Kobo, then in My Books -> Authors, you can choose to sort by First Name, Last Name, and other options as well (mononyms conveniently sort properly regardless of whether you are using First Name or Last Name). If it's just an issue that the list of authors is long, I don't know that you can jump directly to a letter, but you should be able to manipulate the scrollbar directly and jump down e.g. halfway through rather than having to page through authors one page at a time. Not sure if either of these addresses your need. Another way to address it might be the Calibre search query:
which returns only books with an author whose author_sort field starts with M. Or if you wanted only books with an author whose surname (or mononym) starts with M
or any following letter, you could use
Code:
author_sort:="~^[M-Z]
The tilde at the start of the search string indicates that it is a regular expression search.
