I know its been asked before, and yes I have searched the forum and the internet, but I can't find anything to help me with my issue.

I have:

Brand New MacBook Pro 13"

Kindle Keyboard "International" ordered directly from Amazon.

US Credit Card (So I order from Amazon US)

How can I get the book descriptions onto my kindle??????? I work offshore, overseas, and I don't really read much when I am "on land" and have access to the internet. 99% of the time, I am offshore and CAN NOT access the net through my Kindle. I have more than 500 books on my kindle and its getting very difficult keeping up them... I need to be able to add the book descriptions on the e-reader device!!!

Everything about the kindle and "E-readers" is great, BUT, how can they NOT put the book information into it??? Grrrr!!

I have Calibre, and yes my library is updated, and the Metadata is there. But when I transfer the book to my kindle, the book description does not sync.

Im about to throw the Kindle into the trash and go back to just carrying books in my luggage. Its great if you just have 4-5 books on it, but what about if you have 500+++ books and can't keep up with them from just the MISSPELLED TITLE AND AUTHOR!?!?!?!?!

Can someone help me out? Please?
