Maybe this is a dumb question. But on the Kobo how exactly are you looking for the comments? In My Books, you should be able to click on '...' and see as I posted in the attached photos. (I added the page and word count.)

I don't download metadata, as I would ditch most of it anyway. Copy/paste is faster for me. Any comments that are initially included with the book get deleted, as I can't be bothered to edit that trash.
I cannot stand when we get Some Book Title: A Novel. That's rather insulting.

I delete all useless HTML files. Such as the HTML ToC, review burbs, adverts, previews, list of other books by the author, and any other rubbish I don't want.

Not only does it make the ebook smaller, I don't have to page through the crap.

Penguin is the worst for excess crap. They have an advert at the end of the book that has a graphic and some embedded fonts that are not used anyplace else in the eBook. So that crap goes. Sure do the graphics, but don't use the embedded fonts.

The blurb you are showing us really bugs me because you left in the review crap. With the review crap, that's not a proper summery of the book.

It bugs me too, but let's be honest, most folks don't nitpick and edit every detail of their ebooks. I'm pretty sure most Calibre users just download their metadata and leave it as it is. Maybe they edit the book or series title at most.

It's just a matter of leaving out(or deleting the review bit. That's not difficult.

But yes, I do edit most of the details of the eBook. I use search.replace to go through the eBook to find any classes that need to be dealt with. It;s not really all that difficult. I do a lot of editing while watching TV.
