Angry Kobo firmware still sucks

Well, there are years that I do not update the Kobo firmware. I was a little hopeful and I update to the latest version. But nothing. Annotations still sucks.

I mean, if you start with the right start word, and end with the right end word, it's all ok. But if you wrong a little, you're screwed.

Drag the stupid start and end buttons is more difficult that pulling a train with a rope and teeths.

Furthermore the highlight does not include the last point. Never. This is something that make me mad...

Sorry, maybe I'm too rude, maybe because I didn't found so much progress also in another aspects... but, I have to say, it's much simple to do a decent annotation system:

1. there's a new button to the bottom menu of the book, "Start to select". Press it.
2. press the text to select the start of the selection. If you fail, you can press again and again until you spot on. A simple line is displayed where you clicked.
3. the button now changed to "End selection". Press it.
4. Guess what? You can do the same as you did to get the start of selection.
5. the button changed to "Confirm". Press it.
5. now the usual "Highlight" or "Add a note" buttons are displayed. You can press one of them, and voila'

I think you must not be a genius to understand this is quite more simple and quick, since you have not to wait the page refresh every time you add a word to selection.

Well, polemic mode deactivated. Goodbye.
