What some people do as a workaround is to generate what is called a "metadata jacket" which is in effect a special page inserted at the front of the book containing your synopsis information you are after.

To do this, you need to do a conversion using calibre. On the conversion options dialog under "Structure Detection" there is a checkbox for "Insert metadata as page at start of book" which is what you want.

There are other variables at play here in terms of whether your books have had DRM removed (or else you cannot convert) etc but that is the basics of it.
is this possible to do with a nextbook2? I'm looking to get my covers of the books on the face of the next2 thanks for any help.Tiffany
