I was trying to make a custom column for summary/comments that would edit those out, but I have no clue what I'm doing here.

I was mostly using these posts as a guide

If you are setup correctly, you can send your summery/blurb to your Kobo and have it be easily readable. Doing the blurb via the cover might not be all that readable when the cover is a thumbnail.

To check if you are setup correctly, go to My Books and then pick a book. press the ... and choose View Details. You should then be able to see the blurb.

If you don't want HTML in the summary text then set it up as a plain text column, as shown in this screen capture. If you change the "Interpret this column as" for an existing column you must remove the HTML from any existing value.

That said, I agree that when using a Kobo it is much better to put the blurb into its book details. This requires that the blurb be in the Comments column.
