If you try to select from part of one line to closer to left edge on the next line, the Touch interface freezes. Sleeping for 20s re-enables touch. A new bug a maybe the firmware before last.
I just read a huge amount. I also use the Kobo for work, proof annotations of novels not yet published. I have to be careful how I select.
Also if you get the selection wrong, it's easier to start again.
One solution is to make font, margins and line spacing larger when annotating.
I persevere as the ereader has now saved over $500 in paper printing drafts and the annotations easily saved on laptop. I find the Kobo far better than the Kindle for that, though Kindle selection/highlighting is far faster and more reliable. My Nook and Sony are no use at all for annotation.
The fact is that ALL ereaders are poor beyond actually just reading. Android apps are pretty but woeful on book/library management as are all ereaders.
They all have poor firmware compared to Library & Document management SW 30 years ago. The actual readers are basically paginating HTML viewers. The ability for fonts, languages etc has been glacial and only now reaching the point where desktop OSes were over 15 years ago.
Also despite epub3, kF8 etc vs original mobi prc files and original ereaders with epub, the standards development has been poor tinkering. Stupidity like kepub and KFX doesn't help.
DRM is a separate issue and made us subject to the duopoly of Amazon and Adobe. Not good. Copyright is good, DRM is evil.
