Sorry to add to this old thread, but I just discovered it today, and have to say how delighted I am to discover the well-hidden (to me) feature of "Insert metadata as page at start of book". Now I can edit the Comments metadata to add my own notes to the existing synopsis for any book, and then convert the book with the "jacket" (as Kovid calls it) option turned on. Then once I send the book to my Kindle, I have this very nicely formatted informative "jacket" right after the cover page. And of course I can see the edited Comments on my PC as well. What a boon to my aging memory! :-)

I would like to see this option be more visible as I suspect many readers could make good use of it.
