USing the keys you can slowly move round to select words from their beginning (bar before first letter) and this works..but this is v slow and not useful.

ANy ideas?
Your ebooks are in epub format, perhaps?
actually it's a problem regarding italian books also, and I wonder if appears in other languages. After some tests involving a maddening procedure for embedding a font in epub files, I think it's something related to epub interpreter, because I tried the same book in txt, rtf, pdb formats and there's no problem with them, the word is entirely highlighted.

So my advice is using calibre to convert in rtf and check if the problem persists.
