Library book summary is in 3.11 but not in firmware 3.12

In firmware 3.11 on my touch I can go to library and get a book summary.

In firmware 3.12 on my daughters aura I go to library and there is no option for summarizing the book.

The summary is a great feature for someone else who wants to read a book from your library or if you've forgotten what the book was about. Really not sure why that feature is not there for 3.12.

Does the feature exist in 3.12.1?

In the details of a book in the library of my H2O, I do see the description. I am using firmware 3.12.0. I use Calibre to put books on my H2O and I make sure the comments is filled in with the book's description.

Ah yes. The option is actually in 3.12. The feature is not so apparant.

One has to hold on a book to get the options menu to come up.

It was exactly the same in 3.11.0. You needed to long press the book in the library view.

I think the difference is the device, not the firmware version. The Touch and Mini still use an older version of the UI in some parts than the higher resolution devices, even when running the same firmware version.
