Hey, I've just noticed something GREAT that seems to have gone unnoticed. Or maybe I'm so newbie here that it was a granted old feature I've just discovered.

Long press on a word or long-drag over a sentence > Dictionary and highlighting toolbar is called.
Look at your search icon (the magnifying glass one).
YEEEESS. Wikipedia and Google available as options.

It actually calls the Internet browser on a floating window (like the image viewer). If Kobo just adds an address bar, it would be a PERFECT feature.

(Yes, Kobo not only puts bugs in their new FW updates but USEFUL features too, truth be said.

)

I really do hope that they fix the following "small" issues in the coming 3.1.0. (or pleeeeaaaaase in 3.2.0 at most):

Pdf navigation in landscape mode.
The return of Dictionary to the book menu. (VERY useful in pdfs as it saves going and returning to home screen).
Orphans, widows, page-break-whatever working on kepubs.
