I have a simple technique for getting the metadata (book description) into the book when sending to a device, once you have downloaded the metadata to the Calibre library, as described in a couple of places in this thread.

I simply convert the book (from epub to epub). There is a setting during that process under Structure Detection called Insert metadata as page at start of book. It's a brilliant thought from the software creator. I don't think the conversion process makes any changes to a proper .epub file, and you do end up with the book description right at the front of each book on your Kobo.

rraod's Polish button solution, at the moment, appears to be better than this one. See post #13.
