davidfor, you've confirmed more or less what I was afraid of: Kobos don't extract useful metadata from epubs As far as I know, it's not possible on a Kobo to search the comments/synopsis field for text, comments/synopsis is also not visible except from details so it's not very useful for browsing. Meanwhile, the series info and subtitle, which are visible in the browsing mode and are searchable, aren't extracted automatically.

That means I'm looking at some method using Calibre. Where does Calibre populate the Tags column from when reading an epub? Using a plugboard to add tags to the subtitle field is probably adequate for now until I can figure out something better.
