A separate get comments button that can be used as needed, just like covers has its own button in the metadata editor. In this case, comments could be left unchecked and downloaded only when needed.
You can add your own custom comments column - see first attachment, don't forget to add it to Preferences->Interface->Look & Feel->Book Details

You can also display it as a column in the book list, if you do then I suggest you hide it with an icon, see second attachment. Then if you press F2 on a My Comments cell in the book list you get what you see in third attachment (sans my silly text of course).
