Authors tab

In My Books, under the Author tab, I am seeing authors for books that haven't been downloaded (I am on an older version, 4.12.12111). Is there a setting in newer firmware versions to only see downloaded authors/books. If not, is there a patch?

Thank you.

I'm running the latest firmware, and have only one author whose work I have not yet downloaded. That author is not showing up on my list of authors.

And you do the occasional sync?

Yes. I synched shortly after my post and that one unread author's one book came on to my Kobo, meaning her name is now on my "authors" tab.

It took me a while to work out what you meant. But, the Authors tab is built from all the authors you see in the full book list. There isn't any filtering. I have suggested to Kobo some filtering on number of books, or by name. But, a "don't include authors for books not actually on the device" is very good idea. Though, I think I might actually want the inverse more (purchased books not on the device). That is a filter I have wanted to use in the main book list.
