1) was fine till this update. A tap is now easily read as two taps, hence a book opening, or item selecting / unselecting (or vice versa).
2) I have no kepubs. It sometimes works. Previously a sort of double touch enlarged the image, though like the double tap it often needed several attempts.
3) I proof annotate books for practice. I also proof my own writing. The last FW was best for annotation, previously sometimes if the highlight ended at a paragraph end, then the annotation wasn't saved. Now it's fine except on top line if header off, bottom line on footer off (so I'll keep those on!). Previously Full page didn't work properly anyway, no doubt why it wasn't on GUI. The end of line bug is something you'd not normally see as normally ebooks use paragraphs. I shall repair the source book as obviously it's a Gutenberg proof error (pressing say shift return or control return instead of return for a newline/paragraph in editing).
Just because some people don't use a feature, doesn't mean it's not important.
I've written text editors and also software for over 30 years. These bugs are typical lack of testing of boundary conditions. First and last lines outside previous area due to new header/footer options. The "newline" without a paragraph tag would be rare in an eBook. At least I suspect that's what's wrong with the Bobbsey twins.
I use four targets for ePubs that are not Kobo, so I have no interest in kepubs.
