book summary in reader

coolnamehere · 06-06-2010, 04:28 PM

sorry if I missed it (checked the faq and don't think I saw it addressed) but I have a sony 300 pocket reader, linux and calibre 6.28 (don't want to upgrade glibc).

is there some way to get some/all of a calibre library book's summary loaded into my prs300 so I can see what the book is about?

tags/collections all work fine and I do have "comments" metadata filled in but if it's going to my reader I'm not finding it.

I did not think any of the Sony devices showed that information?

In newer versions of calibre you can use the catalogs feature.
