I'm actually trying to figure this out myself, hence how I came across this post, (thanks Google.) LOL! Doing this, and looking at the description on the actual book details page within the store itself are 2 completely different things. I can see where you would be very confused with this!

  <p>Go pass the customer reviews and you will see Product Description. This is where you will find the book description now. Why they moved them is a mystery to me. Before I download a book, I want a small description</p>
