Indeed.

@Jack_Graham:

Tox is correct; there's no way that your eBook reader or reading software is NOT using the OPF. Unless your tablet is reading PDFs, there's really no way around this. There's no other place that the metadata is stored, especially if you are talking about the description.

So, why not use the metadata editor, or, as earlier suggested, just edit in the OPF itself, as you are using Sigil?

That's dramatically faster and easier than using the metadata editor, if we're discussing longer blocks of text.

Offered solely FWIW.
