I simply convert the book (from epub to epub). There is a setting during that process under Structure Detection called Insert metadata as page at start of book. It's a brilliant thought from the software creator. I don't think the conversion process makes any changes to a proper .epub file, and you do end up with the book description right at the front of each book on your Kobo.

In an ePub to ePub conversion, Calibre introduces changes to the book structure, which will not be an exact copy of the original epub. This sometimes creates unwanted results.
Polish Books command in Calibre explained by me in this thread above also does the same without touching the structure and content of the original ePub. This is also a lot faster method to ePub to ePub conversion for introducing book description at the start of the book and also update the metadata and cover of the book.
