The other is to put it in the comments/synopsis. My Kobo Utilities plugin can do this. It can use a template to add extra information to the synopsis on the device. I use:
Code:
template:{comments}{tags:|<p>Tags: |</p>}{rating:|<p>Rating: |</p>}{#kobo_last_read:|<p>Last Read: |</p>}{#words:|<p>Word count: |</p>}
That adds the tags, my rating, the last read timestamp and the page and word count. |
Thanks so much, I did some reading around and to quickly summarize/clarify:
If I wanted to specifically display a "Pages:" line in the comments/synopsis, I'd add the following to your template:
Code:
{#pages:|<p>Pages: |</p>}
Assuming that my custom page number column is called "pages".
EDIT: It looks like you can create/paste the template directly in the plugin - "Update Metadata in device library" check:comments/synopsis - check:use template - click template editor and paste there. Hit OK
A complete example with just the book comments and page numbers would be:
Code:
template:{comments}{#pages:|<p>Pages: |</p>}
