Sync books to Kobo with metadata included in the title?
I use the Count Pages and the Goodreads plugins to get (surprise) the number of pages and the goodreads rating into my Calibre library. I connect my Kobo to sync books to the ereader, and I have automatic metadata management enabled.

Is there a way to have Calibre, when it syncs books, to add in this extra metadata into the title (or other field shown on the ereader) so that I can see it? For example, have titles be:

BOOK TITLE (GRRATING, #PAGES)

Use metadata plugboards, that's exactly what they were designed for.

You can use the subtitle field too, it can be customized in the Kobo driver settings.
