Is there are good solution to this?

Thanks

Out of curiosity, have you considered adding a custom column and storing the text there? That means you could see it with the other metadata and I believe would allow indexing of the text, so you could search it.

If you do this, you could script "read the text file and assign metadata field" (via calibredb, or possibly within calibre itself -- I haven't worked with action chains, and I'm still pretty new to python)
