Hello,

I'd like to know if it's possible to see the book descriptions/summaries for my books in Kindle 4 NT, without connecting to Amazon or the internet. I've added summaries to the metadata for all my books using Calibre (in the Comments section), but there seems to be no way to view them, either with the Kindle OS or with Duokan. It would be so helpful, I have a lot of books on my Kindle and I forget what many of them are about.

I'd also appreciate it if you could tell me whether there's any other way to have a cover browser on Kindle 4 NT other than with Duokan. I'm not sure I want to use Duokan all the time, there are some things I don't like about it, like the fact that it doesn't support collections and can't use book covers as screensavers. Won't even display them full size, as far as I can see. I'm really a noob about these things, I've been reading these forums for hours, but most of the stuff is way over my head, the only thing I could figure out was this Duokan OS, because there was a very useful FAQ posted here. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks!
