Yes, it's easily done with Calibre. And you will find numerous threads on it in the Calibre forum, the simple answer taken from the following thread: Adding The Comment Section (Metadata) To A Mobi File

The latter option won't mess with your formatting, but only works on AZW3/KF8 (and EPUB, but as you have a Kindle, that doesn't matter to you), not on old MOBI files.

l_macd has told you how to add your comments, etc. to your books from within Calibre. But I think you also want to know how to view those comments from the Paperwhite itself.

I don't have a PW in front of me, but if my memory serves, you will need to open the book on the PW; then tap the menu button in the top toolbar (the button with three horizontal bars); and choose Book Description.

That will show you the description of the book in the Kindle Store, Mike, and is indeed extremely useful, but it only works with books bought from Amazon (naturally enough ). The OP was asking about seeing Calibre's comments, rather than Amazon's.

Thanks for correcting me, Harry. As I said, I was writing from memory.
