How can I read the "book description" contained in the book metadata when using my ipad or kindle?

If you observe how people select books in a bookstore or library, you notice that they look at the front cover, then the cover flaps, and finally (maybe) the back cover. I know the book metadata contains a "book description" (which is kind of the equivalent of the flaps and back cover), but how can I access that info from my ipad or kindle?

I tend to load dozens of books at a time on my devices and decide later which I want to read. But, alas, no flaps or back covers.
