- ISBN (actually takes the first identifier)

As well as that, the library can show:

- Publisher
- Published date
- Series name and number

Kobo populate these for purchased books from their server, but they have to be populated by other methods for sideloaded books. And I have no idea why Kobo do not extract the publisher and date as it is standard metadata. The cover is not extracted and is generated the first time it is needed.

I have no idea how the above compares to what is on the Kindle.
