So in Calibre there is a "Date" field and a "Published" field. The Date field shows the day the book was added to Calibre, and the Published field shows the date that the book was originally published. On the Kobo, I can select a book and click details, and next to the Publisher it shows a date in parenthesis. IMO, this should be the day the book was published, but it instead takes the "Date" field from Calibre and shows me when I downloaded the book. Is there anyway to make Calibre send the Published date to that field, or another work around for this? I just want a way to see the date a book was published, not just the day I downloaded it.

Thanks in advance!
