Most books (I have never seen a commercially produced one) do not have the book description in the metadata. Kindle does not support the use of it, and I don't believe iBooks does either (nor the Kindle app for iPad).
All you can do is look at the description on the Kindle store. I often create a small .txt file with book descriptions when I buy books that I am not going to read right away, then load it onto my Kindle for reference.
