This is very important to me, because I need to read a lot of academic texts (which have a lot of endnotes) for the course I'm doing. On the Voyage, highlighting text and selecting small hyperlinks is 100% accurate, 100% of the time. It just works.

2. The Kindle's dictionaries are way, way better than Kobo's. I like looking up unfamiliar words in the dictionary.
I read a lot of endnote-ridden non-fiction as well, and I don't really have an issue with the accuracy of my H2O. But perhaps I have smaller fingers than you do . And I love the pop-up notes kepubs do; I missed those since my Cybook Gen3 gave up the ghost, and it's the main reason I use the Kobo Touch Extended Plugin. I can't really judge text selection; I don't do that.

I am with you on 2), though. If someone figures out a way to use my Chambers 10th I used on my Cybook and Kindle DXG on my H2O, I will be a very happy camper...
