I didn't notice for a long time. It was only when I thought it would be good to display the tags somewhere that I looked.

I don't think any of my ebook readers use comments, so I've never looked before. That's why I put tags, etc in the title--title and author are the only fields all of my different ebook readers--devices and programs--have used.
The Kobo devices do a reasonable job of displaying the metadata. They read it from the books, put it in a database and work from that. The annoying thing is they don't read some of the metadata, but will display if it is in the database. Unfortunately, the tags isn't one of the things that it can display.
