Adding "Comments" after book cover?

McManus · 10-31-2021, 07:10 AM

First I have to say that my english level is very poor, and I'll do my best for explain my idea...
In Calibre software, there's a "Comments" place, kind of summary of book.
Is it possible to automatically add this summary to the epub, just after the cover page (first page of the book)?
The goal is to be able to read the summary (on ebook reader) just after opening the book, to remember or discover what is the subject of the book, without having to open Calibre on my computer.
Hope you understand what I mean?

Thank you very much

Hello McManus,

Preferences > Conversions > Common Options > Structure detection: Insert metadata as page at start of book.

When you have edited the comment for a book then you can convert the book (e. g. from epub to epub) and after the cover there is a page with the meta data (title, author, comment, etc.).
