I know Calibre has it's own book jacket creator, and you can add metadata when converting, but it has been one of the most clunky and unattractive features that I commonly use.

I know that it's possible to create and update the jacket through the files in Calibre, but I have never been able to really understand and figure out how to do it.

Since I have a Kindle Paperwhite none of the book metadata shows and I have relied on both a Calibre Catalog and book jackets to get book info to choose what to read next.

Over the years I have developed a bit of a hack to get what I want in that jacket by copying over in a nicely formatted way the various data from columns into my comments of the book. However, when I open the book and see the data it's like all my hard work has been replaced with an ugly jacket that isn't set up to handle all that data and is not editable. I know that using the comments column isn't the best idea, but it's the only idea I have at the moment since there isn't an option to use another space for this. If the comments column had the ability to format the line height that would be helpful in setting up the spacing between paragraphs.

I propose a plugin that would allow someone to create a jacket along the lines of how a catalog is made, but with the option to edit the formatting of line spacing/height, font, which metadata to add, etc. Maybe allow multiple templates to be created and saved which can then be used instead of the generic one created by Calibre. There are so many different areas that could be edited. People who aren't very adept at editing the jacket template within the Calibre folder would benefit from this. I know this is a tall order and most likely not done, but if there was the possibility for a better way of getting all that data in a nice package so that I could better see what I am getting I would appreciate it.
