is there one that can handle calibre metadata?

Hi,
I'm a very happy user of a BeBook mini. The only thing I miss is the discriptions/comments and metadata of my books. I spend a lot of time organising my database in Calibre, but when I'm on the road with my BeBook I have to choose a book to read just by title and author. I would like to be able to read the comments etc. as well.

Is there a reader capable of this?

TNX for your help!

Not sure about about which readers might support it. As a work-around, I use Calibre to make a catalog of my books and then put that on the reader. Works great for me. By default it does contain the comments for each book, and is indexed by title, author, etc, with links to each book's metadata. Of course you can change that up as desired.

There's a thread here:

In Calibre, Preferences, Common Options, Structure Detection, there's an option for "Insert metadata as page at start of book".

It does just that.
