This has been discussed before on other threads. I guess it is a "bit" odd. But then again, those summaries are there to sell the book. For the buyer in a book store to read in order to make a purchase decision. In the ebook world that summary info is in the ebook store/web site.

So, I guess I don't find it odd. But, I do think adding the summary to the content of the ebook would be a nice idea.

Several formats permit adding this data. Mobipocket Reader on a pc can make use of this data very well and ePUB has a special place for it as well. It is often used on a web site for selling the product but there is no reason it shouldn't be displayable as Mobipocket reader does. Feedbooks is adding it to their downloads.
