Here are a few questions to which I couldn't find an answer, sorry if they've already been asked! It's about selecting text and looking up definitions in an effective way.

The first thing I'd like to know is: is it possible to select text spread accross two pages? More precisely, I want to start selecting text on a page and have a way to turn the page while still selecting. Either by trial and error or by looking up online, I couldn't find a way to do that.

The second thing is not so important, although I'd like it solved. When looking up definitions after selecting text, my Kobo reacts in one of two ways after a long touch allows me to enter the selection mode:
-if I select the word I want to lookup and touch anywhere else, a popup comes with the definition. If I then touch the screen again, the popup goes away and I can directly select some more text and start again (no need for a long press to enter the selection mode)
-if I select the word I want to lookup and touch anywhere else, the popup that comes contains the definition of the word at the location I touched. If I want to get the definition of a word I select, I have to use the dictionary icon, choose between the definition and translation dictionary. Then a window comes full screen with the definition. The only way to close it is to completely exit the selection mode by clicking the cross shaped button on the lower right corner.

The second mode is annoying because it requires many more clicks (and the latency of a reader screen make it even more long), and I have to exit the selection mode afterwards, so for the next word I have to loose a few more seconds entering said mode. It may look like a small issue for a user who only checks a word every once in a while, but I'm using my kobo to practice reading in my japanese study and use the dictionary every few words, so using a few more seconds one hundred times becomes a big annoyance. So I'd like to find a way to use only the first mode of selection. I think I've pinpointed the situation in which the second mode occurs: it seems it is when the page I'm reading is a chapter start or end, or contains some links or pictures (or next to a full-screen picture). I don't know why it changes the way dictionary lookup reacts, so I don't know how to prevent this issue, if somebody has any idea that would be greatly appreciated!
