Viewing descriptions of books from mobile or eReader?

I have a Kindle Paperwhite and sideload my books using Calibre. On Calibre, my books have metadata like description, genre, etc. but I cannot view it on Kindle. That makes browsing the library on Kindle useless, but I'm not always near my computer. I'm wondering if there is a way to view the metadata of my Calibre library from my phone, or if anyone knows a way to have the Calibre metadata like description appear somewhere on the Kindle Paperwhite (within the book or some setting I don't know about)? Might just be a limitation of my eReader but figured I would ask. Thank you

This style of sunglasses in a smaller size?

I’m desperately seeking metal frame cat eye sunglasses similar to the styles pictured but smaller: lens width 50-52mm and bridge width 16-18mm. Not particular about lens/frame color or price. Appreciate any help at all, I’ve been trying for days!!

Well-written well-researched fiction that taught you about a time and place

I’m looking for fiction recommendations where the book is very well-written, but also meticulously researched. Something where you went in for the book, not to learn a history lesson, but you walked away with a much richer understanding of a time and place as a result. Some examples from what I’ve read: The Grapes of Wrath, American Psycho, Bonfire of the Vanities, My Antonia, Private Citizens by Tulathimutte.

I hesitate to say “historical fiction” because (and maybe this is unfair) I kind of associate that with the mass market paperbacks of middle school where it’s just a story that exists to be in a given setting. I want the story/writing/characters etc to be first and then incidentally you learn accurately about what daily life was like in a time/place through the story.

I’m open to any time and place. Like a book you loved that also gave you a better understanding what daily life was like for medieval peasants, or for musicians in the 90s grunge scene in Seattle, or for circus clowns in 1920, etc etc
