Hi

I recently switched from a 1st gen kindle to a kobo libra h2o, and I'm disappointed with the reading experience so far. I read mostly non-fiction with authors injection a lot of their own theories and such. This means that I'm very reliant on looking up stuff mentioned before in the book, or just unfamiliar words/terms. Here're the stuff that bothers me:

1.A term I don't know the meaning of made up of two or more words eg 'book worm' : on the kindle this would look up the term directly with the option of getting more details on the web. On the kobo it makes a highlight, gives me the option to search for it in the book or the web, ie no offline option at all. It also dismisses the highlight if I choose an option but doesn't if I don't. What?

2.A term from the author in the book I don't remember: I love the kindles xray option for this reason. One click, get the info I need, done. Here I get this awful search box which gives me ALL mentions of the term in the book, making me flip through a lot if I'm unlucky.

3.Reference rabbit hole: say I do point 2. multiple times in a row. For every new jump, the location stored of the 'grand parent' seems to disappear? I'm contrast to the kindle where I could just hit the back button, like in a browser, to eventually return where I started.

4.Footnotes: this seems to work, sometimes? That is, sometimes I get a nice pop up box, while other times I get thrown to the back of the book?

Is there a way to deal with this stuff? I'm aware the kobo is quite 'open' with the capabilites of installing Linux binaries. If there are software solutions to this would you please point me to them?
