No, I was using kepubs. Just as bad. Try doing 200+ selections on an average book.
I did have "extended" on in the Extended plugin and turned it off to have ePubs instead of kepubs as the keypub formatting does not match epubs on apps and other readers, the epubs on the Kobo do. I've never bought eBooks from Kobo so have none of their kepubs.
The text selection was good enough on earlier firmware apart from the end of line selection bug, fixed in a previous release, which resulted in the highlight & note being lost.
I've also had no joy in contacting Kobo, like MS today, they don't admit anything and don't seem prepared to listen. They'll swap for a manufacturing defect in a newish one (good luck on enforcing EU 2 year SOGA!). A waste of time.
They seem to only properly support & test kepub and even that really only to Windows 10 standard of QA, i.e. really poorly. It's like a brand new garage produced kick-starter product instead of mature technology and years of software development. I won't be buying a 3rd Kobo as the HW features of newer models seem inferior and cost reduced compared to mine with an SD card slot. The Forma and Clara sound disastrous compared to recent Amazon model releases.
With Amazon having near 90% of eBook market, the other makers need to lobby under anti-trust laws to have Amazon ebook support and do HW & SW BETTER than the Kindle or the remaining makers are doomed. A single eInk vendor will only benefit Amazon.
Also the idea of eBook readers "tied" to particular online bookshops or particular online eBook sellers tied to particular hardware or secured iOs/Android apps is anti-consumer and immoral. Tied bookshop is only going to work for Amazon. Sony were mad trying to have a bookstore.
Really Smashwords is now the only viable Amazon eBook competition. They support all eReaders directly, though not AZW3 for advanced layout etc compared to mobi I think.
