Display format in Main List
Can this be done, or am I blind?

In CC, every format is a different book, so if you are asking if you can see the all the formats of a given book stored in CC's library then the answer is no.
If you are asking whether you can see the list of formats of a book stored in your calibre library, then the answer is yes. In calibre you create a custom column "build from other columns, acts like tags" and use the template {formats}. After you create the column, sync CC as a wireless device so it can learn that the column exists, then use CC's "Settings / Customize the book list / Extra information on the book list" to add that field to the displayed list. NB: as said above, in CC there is one book per format. Seeing formats different from the format of the current book might not be particularly useful. |

I only ask because I don't like reading pdf's on my mobile devices, and would prefer not be "surprised" by my download. I know I can find the format on the metadata page, but I hate doing that all the time.

Revisiting this topic:
I got the format to show up in each book, but only by connecting to wireless and "pushing"to CC. I need it to work for Dropbox. I see the info in the opf file. I don't see why this wouldn't work for Dropbox. Is this possible? |

That said, it is easy to limit the books you see in the cloud connection to a single format or everything but a single format. Tap the "Formats" line, long press on the format you want to see or want excluded, then choose the correct option. |
