For instance, I'd like to try the (not custom) tags column.
This option only offers me one column currently, and it isn't one I particularly care about.
As to other types to allow, how about "column built from other columns" type...
I'm also thinking word count (float) might be an interesting subtitle.

It has to be a custom column because that's the way I wrote it. And a text column for the same reason. And doing that was to get it out were people could see it. The subtitle was mentioned recently as someone wanted to clear it. Adding text custom columns was a simple extension as I was able to reuse code.
And while doing this, I actually removed code that I put in some time ago to put the tags in the subtitles. This was because of a discussion in the Kobo forum and I don't remember if I put out a beta with it. But, at the time, there was virtually no interest.
Just about any column type could make sense. The standard columns are not as useful except maybe the tags. I'm a bit loath to put all the columns into a drop-down to select. But, probably the way to do this is a template. I might change to a field where you can enter whatever template you want and open the template editor to make it a bit easier. That would also be a way to handle the comment/synopsis template as well.
