I place the metadata in the lrf when I convert my files to that format. This places the summary on the first page beyond the cover. I attached an example.

It is nice having the summary, series etc at the beginning of the book.

Plus if your Calibre Library has summaries on every book then creating a catalog creates one book with all of the titles, series, summaries, etc in one convenient package.

The lrf viewer within Calibre works for any lrf on your drive. I have lrf associated with the lrf viewer. It does not view the drm'd lrx.
