Ok, dear davidfor, my points:
1. Touchscreen is off, does not activate the area that is actually touched by the finger, which for me is especially annoying when highlighting larger portions of the text. Lifting the finger is sometimes a gamble because you might be missing a few words or a line.
2. Modifying the selection is also a gamble because if you do not guess the touch area of the locator correctly you risk cancelling the highlighting process (and have to tap the screen once more to be able to recommence).
3. Touchscreen is laggy: When highlighting across pages it automatically always selects the entire screen of text. That may be a design decision, although a poor one in my opinion. What’s worse: You really have to take your sweet time to track back to the part of the text that you actually want to highlight. If you move to fast (and sometimes, even if you move very slowly), you risk cancelling the selection operation and have to start all over again.
As to your argument for seniority: I have been around for some time and I still have no idea how Kobo works. They are like the Trump of E-reading (ok, maybe Apple is worse in that regard) in that you can never predict what they will or won’t do.
My points concern operability of basic functions not feature requests and still, they have been around at least since firmware 4.2.
I have already sent this list to Kobo when I received the Aura One I am currently owning a couple of months ago but haven’t heard (other that the “will forward to the bin” auto-reply) nor seen anything from them, which is why I am here asking if there is a chance that they will actually concern themselves with these problems.
Maybe, davidfor, you can work with this.
