Book Description to Kindle as first page

meryvn · 08-31-2014, 07:36 AM

Is there anyway of getting the book description that Calibre stores in it's metadata to be transferred to a Kindle as the first page of a book?

I'm fed up putting books on my kindle only to look at them a couple of months down the line and forget what they are about and why i wanted to read them.

You can insert a metadata jacket, there shoud be an option in the conversion dialog.

Also, Polish books can update an existing book with the metadata jacket. Faster if you already have the right format.

Cheers, I'll have a look for Polish books.

Keep in mind you can only polish books in AZW3 (& EPUB) format. MOBI books must be converted.
