While the text selection in theory works quite similar to other readers, it's in practice,-- the execution, that fails. Bag example maybe, but both a Ferrari and a Pinto both work the same in concept, but the execution is quite different, and not in a flattering way for the Pinto.
So reading all these posts, it's pretty obvious that this is a long-standing issue, which really makes me wonder how it could have been ignored by the Kobo designers..
I wont be returning my Kobo Glo due to this, as it's core purpose - reading books - it still does quite well, and I love the front-light, it works fantastic.
Asside from that however, Unless Kobo is willing to fix this very glaring problem -- I'd go so far as to call the feature broken, I definitely would not buy the next Kobo, as by then Front-lights will be old hat. Great unit, but disappointing support (realizing I'm new to Kobo, a broken feature being left as-is for so long as it would appear is even worse than Sony's support - at least all their feature work well before they abandon the unit)
Response from Kobo maybe? I've heard they patrol these forums once in a while.

This works without waiting for, then clearing the dictionary, but is still fiddly. The handles should work more like this to be effective it seems:
