My font isn't huge but not exactly small, either. About 24 characters per line (column)... comes out about 10 lines (columns) per page. The interface even gets in the way of the word you highlighted. (Random screenshot where I selected 手紙 (letter) and the interface covers the 紙 character)
And to successfully select 手紙 in the first place, it starts you out with just 手 or just 紙 (or another character off), you have to move one of those pins (one of them also covers up part of the 手 character), and if you end up selecting 手紙を (one surplus character) dictionary comes up with nothing.
Ruby/Furigana also completely gets in the way of the selection.
It's barely acceptable if you have to use it rarely but if your Japanese sucks ( (: like mine does
) it's rather frustrating. I know it's made for native speakers and not Japanese learners, but... like so many things, it works just fine with Kindle.
I've given up hope that Kobo will ever improve their firmware. Wouldn't have commented if improved Japanese reading experience wasn't mentioned.
