No synopsis in books - paste your own?

[rraod]

David,

Every person is different and works differently. I agree with your method. But I manage my library as follows.

Sometimes I start with a book on device, and notices lots of imperfections like spelling mistakes, formatting errors etc. which rob the pleasure in reading. So I get on my laptop, load the file on Sigil and proofread it to my satisfaction, create a proper TOC and make it a well organised book. Sometimes I do it fast and load it in the device and read it afterwards or I read the entire book in Sigil itself while proofreading.

I am a avid book collector and even-though I finish the book I would like to retain it in my library as a collection both in Calibre and on the eBook reader. That was one of the reason I preferred a H2O over a Kindle.

I constantly revise my library on Calibre to make it complete with proper covers and metadata. I use "Edit Metadata Individually" command periodically to download the missing metadata and the covers. Then I use the Resize Cover plugin to have a uniform size (900 x 1200) of covers, as the downloaded covers come in different sizes and aspect ratios. Then use Polish Books command on my library as explained above to embed the metadata and covers. My books contain the cover in the first page and the jacket in the second page and so on. The book title page and rest of the book comes after the jacket file. I got habituated to this method and I am happy with it.

I will remove the old books from the device and replace them with these improved files on Calibre.

My library contains the metadata.opf and cover.jpg files with each individual book, but on my device I have only the epub files. I organize them in tags/author - title.epub format and create the colections in similar structure. The device reads the cover and metadata directly from the book.

Once again thanks for your help.

I just noticed something when editing the comment field synopsis text. Sometimes it says <p class="description"> in the html code. I erased all formatting and then just choosed Heading 3 to get a bit bigger text, since there is no way to enlarge the synopsis text in the device. But is this html code important for some reason? When updating the device it seems to work okej without it.

Is this what you mean by the "dc:description" attribute of the metadata?

[rraod]

I think the <p class="description"> is not mandatory. It is just a HTML code class named "description" and you can write any valid HTLM code in it's place.

In Calibre I usually select the deficient text and click on the "supprimer la mise en forme" icon in the comment box. Sometimes it didn't work and I understood why reading this thread.

Now, if it doesn't work, thanks to marp68'comment I go to the html Source.

And I just get rid of anything in between < and > except one <div> to begin and one <\div> to end. I prefer to add eventual breaks / bold / italic in the "vue normale" (possible translation "regular view").

That's interesting, I ended up erasing everything, even <div> at the beginning and <\div> at the end. And it still worked transferring it. I thought that one at least needed something.

Or?

I have a simple technique for getting the metadata (book description) into the book when sending to a device, once you have downloaded the metadata to the Calibre library, as described in a couple of places in this thread.

I simply convert the book (from epub to epub). There is a setting during that process under Structure Detection called Insert metadata as page at start of book. It's a brilliant thought from the software creator. I don't think the conversion process makes any changes to a proper .epub file, and you do end up with the book description right at the front of each book on your Kobo.

rraod's Polish button solution, at the moment, appears to be better than this one. See post #13.

[filmo]

Some books have 1 to 4 different covers you can download in Calibre and long or short synopsis you can add to each book meta data. I often use generate cover option for Kobo covers because better chance I can read tiny cover in home page. Generate covers are better now easier to read. Still need to have option on Kobo home screen to show Auther and Title captions and not display covers. Kobo Library listing already has this option. Covers displayed on home screen is good on Tablets as I can pinch zoom enough to see details in color but on Kobo reader eink screen cover display on home screen is worthless. I'm using Kobo readers with 5 inch and 6 inch display.

In an ePub to ePub conversion, Calibre introduces changes to the book structure, which will not be an exact copy of the original epub. This sometimes creates unwanted results.

Polish Books command in Calibre explained by me in this thread above also does the same without touching the structure and content of the original ePub. This is also a lot faster method to ePub to ePub conversion for introducing book description at the start of the book and also update the metadata and cover of the book.

It seemed to work with all books with annotations copied to the comment field but one. After adding the synopsis part to the comment field, where the annotations was already copied to using Annotation program, and then updating the metadata of the the book on the device, the annotation text ended up in the synopsis field together with the synopsis.

What can have happened? And only for one of the books. This is why I assumed that there must be some sort of categorizing code in the comment field, telling calibre/device which text is synopsis and which is annotations (or other text).

The strange thing is that for other books that I had copied the annotations to the comment field, only the synopsis text was updated to the synopsis field in the book on the device.

In the years I have been doing this, I have not seen unwanted results. Having now studied the Polish button, it certainly looks like a winner. I should add "thanks" for that. If you are correct that it does nothing else to the book structure, then I should also add that the Polish button appears to be a much better solution.

There is no code in calibre that I know of to strip the annotations from the comments when a book is sent sent to the device. And the experiments I have done show that the annotations are sent. But, I don't usually put the annotations in the comments field, so maybe I have missed something.

If the annotations are not going to the device as part of the comments, it probably means you are resending the books. If you replace a book on the device without first deleting it, the book does not get reprocessed. The processing extracts the metadata and puts it into a database. The device uses this when displaying the book list and details. As the new version of the book isn't processed, the old metadata is still there. Which will mean the annotations will not be in the synopsis.

To achieve the above, the driver does cheat a little bit. The above behaviour is how older firmware worked. For current firmware, if the book is changed, it will be removed from the database and reprocessed as a new book. This means the reading status, annotations and collections are lost for the book. The driver updates the database to make sure this doesn't happen. Personally, this fits my usage a lot better than the way the device works. And you can always delete the book first before resending if you want to clear the status.

To update the metadata on the device, you can use my Kobo Utilities plugin. That will write the metadata directly to the database without touching the actual files. I will probably be adding function to the driver to do these updates automatically, but, that probably won't happen very soon.

I didn't explained very well how I did and what happened. I do use the Kobo utility Update metadata in device function when updating the synopis field for the book on the device with the synopsis text in the comment field.

So, if I have placed different text types in the comment field and there are no tags to separate the text types, I do understand that alla text in the comment field will be copied to the synopsis field for the book on the device.

What is strange, however, is that only for one of the books with both synopsis text and annotation text in the comment field, both texts were copied into the synopsis field. For the rest of the books with both synopsis text and annotation text in the comment field, only the synopsis text was copied into the synopsis field. So for all but one book the Kobo utility Update metadata function managed to separate which text to transfer to synopsis field.

I'm only using the Update metadata function for the synopsis text in the comment field, not the annotations stored there. The annotations are only imported to the comment field with the Annotation program for easy reading after finishing the book, since the actual annotations is mixed with code in the annotation file in the DE folder on the device. The device itself reads the annotations for the specific book from the annotation file in the Digital Edition folder on the device. I generally just backup annotations by simply copy the whole DE folder, but I don't read them. That works great.

I download synopsis text via Calibre Download metadata function (or copy/pasted from site) and then strip the text in the comment field from all fomatting code. Then I just choose H3 formatting for bigger text, since the font size for the text in the synopsis field for the book on the device can't be changed. But the annotation text has a lot of code around every annotation.

Actually I do use the Update metadata on device function for all books when updating with synopsis text. Thats why it so strange that for one book both types of texts were sent to the synopsis field on the device, but for the rest only the synopsis text was sent and not the annotation text.

So, my conclusion is that between the book where both text types were sent and the other books were only the the synpsis text was sent, there must some sort of difference in the comment field codes/tags. Since I used the same feautures to download synopsis (Calibre Download metadata), used the same formatting and used the same function to update the device synopsis field (Kobo Ut. Update metadata/synopsis).

I will do some more testing and read your answer more carefully, just thought there were some easy answer. Is there any other way of having easy access and easy readability of the annotations on the computer for a book after reading it?

[marp68]

This is how the Calibre comment field for the specific book look in html mode. It contains both synopsis text, downloaded via Calibre Download metadata, and annotations, fetched via Annotation program and stored in comment field for easy access and reading on computer. See previous post for problem description.

<div><h3>Ikonen i fickan är en samling essäer som diskuterar vårt behov av resor.


Inledningsvis tar författaren upp den yttre resan – Varför reser vi? Vad reser vi till och vad reser vi ifrån? Vi får ta del av både psykologiska och sociologiska rön kring resandet, men tonvikten ligger vid den filosofiska frågeställning som kanske egentligen bara kan ha ett definitivt svar: det vi aldrig kan resa ifrån är oss själva.


Vi får följa med på författarens egen färd. Han gör nedslag som turist på Kanarieöarna, befinner sig i eftertankens och vänskapen Rom, möter skönhetens Paris och avslutar sin färd i reflektionens Venedig. Det blir både en yttre och en inre resa, med ikonens blick som ständigt resesällskap och följeslagare. </h3><h3>Den inre resan är den andliga strävan som alltfler människor i dag känner en så stor längtan efter. Detta behov har funnits lika länge som mänskligheten och författaren låter oss möta en rad olika tänkare och ”inre resenärer” från många olika tidsepoker: Cicero, Seneca, Proust och Dostojevskij för att nämna några. Den inre resans slutstation bjuder också på en diskussion kring mystikens väsen och vårt behov av det heliga.
Det är en livsresa i tre stationer som skildras – behovet av att stanna upp och göra en positionsbestämning, behovet av att söka tröst i skönheten samt mötet med andligheten – i ikonens blick. Ikonen ger med sin på en gång högst konkreta blick och samtidigt andliga inre seende en gestaltning av alla resors yttersta mål – insikt. </h3><h3>Owe Wikström, född 1945, i Överluleå är teolog, präst, psykoterapeut och författare.
