Hi, not too sure where on the internet to post this query as googling it hasn't turned anything up for me so thought I'd start with a Calibre forum and see if some bright spark can help answer this question

In the books app on an iOS device there is now a Want to Read section where you can add books that you want to read from the book store. When you click on the book it will pop up a description of the book, or if you view it in the Want to Read section you can see a partial description.

When I manually add a book to my device and add it to the Want to Read section, my manually added book doesn't show the description nor do I get a pop up when I tap on it, it just opens the book ready to be read.

In Calibre I've added a description in the comments section but it doesn't show up in the books app.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get this working? I like to add my books on to my device to read later but sometimes forget what the book is about so it would be handy to have the books app show the book description.

Image attached of a book added from the book store and one I've manually added to my iPad. The one added from the store shows a description which is what I want to happen for my manually added books.

Sorry for being so long winded.

Thanks heaps!
