Android ereader app that lets you add synopsis?

slammerkin · 11-19-2018, 07:12 PM

Is there an ereading app for Android that allows for you to edit the metadata of the book the app itself displays? I understand this wouldnt be permanent editing to the file itself, unless I use Calibre. I have a ton of books for research, so having a synopsis in the app helps. I know how to add one & then insert it as metadata when I use Calibre, but I don't always have access to Calibre off-grid.

I currently use Aldiko (paid version), and it allows me to edit the book description/synopsis (or add one), plus title & author (most allow title & author edits), once the epub file is imported to the app. Are there any other apps that allow you to add or edit the synopsis of the book that is displayed under book details within the app? I've gone through as many Wiki lists as allowing metadata edits, but none allow more than title & author. Thanks

pretty sure that moon reader (paid) allows you to edit book into, so you can type in or and to any field shown, including the book description.
that changes data in moon reader database, not in the original epub
