Hello

I recently started using Kobo for iPad in earnest. Not a bad app in many ways - easy on the eye and includes options not available on the eReader Touch, such as sharing to Twitter. However, there is one bizarre quirk which I have been unable to figure out and would welcome advise on: touch a specific word on a page and a contextual menu offering such options as highlighting, taking a note, or sharing to social media, etc - or at least it would, if this contextual menu was not invariably half-obscured by the built-in iOS contextual menu which invariably appears directly over it, offering you access to the built-in iOS dictionary, cut, paste, etc. How on earth do you prevent this from happening?
