@davidfor:
The format involved is epubs.
The behavior is the same for highlighting and for note-making; the balky behavior (mistaking a highlighting/ notemaking finger gesture for a page turn) is the same for one word or a string of words.

Before this problem developed (I think with 3.15), the technique of a long press and methodical drag (recommended by DNSB above) worked a bit better than a more abrupt gesture. Now it doesn't matter what technique I use. [ Kobo needs to study and digest how Kindle performs highlights and notes: if there is one area that Kindle is much better at, it is highlighting and note-taking. ]
