Kobo Glo, Metadata and Converting (CBR/CBZ/CBT/EPUB)

There are some metadata (Publisher, Summary, Publisher Date) that shows in Calibre, but not on the Kobo Glo.

CBR/CBZ/CBT
Author shows "Unknown Author"
Under Details, Publisher show the date, not the publishing company
Synopsis states "No synopsis available for this item"

EPUB conversion
When converting the comic book format to epub, the Kobo template is only for the 800 x 600 resolution. Kobo Glo has a resolution of 1024x758. So comic books converted to epubs are in smaller scale on the Kobo Glo screen.
I end up having to use the Kindle Paperwhite template to convert any comic books to epub format.

PDF
Same issue like with CBR/CBZ/CBT files.
Author shows "Unknown Author"
Under Details, Publisher show the date, not the publishing company
Synopsis states "No synopsis available for this item"

Open EPUB
In non-Kobo Epub books, publisher field is blank.
Synopsis and Author name loads okay

I do not know if this the limitation on the Kobo Glo or with Calibre.

Is there a way to upload the proper metadata onto the Kobo Glo?
