Exporting Metadata Summaries?

I'm relatively new to using Calibre to manage my ebooks, so there may be an obvious answer to this.

One problem I have with my Kindle's large collection of books is that I sometimes forget what certain books are about and why I bought them or downloaded a sample. It would be great if there were some way to export Calibre's Metadata summaries to a file on the Kindle. That way I could quickly look up a book or sample and remind myself what it's about. Is there any way to do this?

Great question! Hope this already exists.

It sounds like you want to use the Calibre facility for generating a catalog? You can do this for selected books and then load the results as a mobi file to the Kindle.

Thanks itimpi, creating a Mobi catalog looks to be exactly what I was looking for. Good times
