First page data

Hi,
can you tell me is there any way to control/edit things that Calibre adds as a first page with conversion? I mean, independently from Library metadata.

Like, I add dates about book and author, but if there's 'Transcriber's Note' saying where and when story first appeared, it's unnessessary. Or, I want to delete/change the blurb in comments but without it affecting the comments in the Library.

No, there isn't. Open your book in Sigil and edit it there.

Thank you for fast reply!

But I can only read mobi away from PC...

So it seems I have to copy to Library3>convert>delete/add metadata>send to folder. And if ok, then after reading import to Library1 and delete from Library3.
