IIRC, you can scribble over/cross off a letter/word to delete it, but that might only work in notebooks... (The exact gesture was detailed in the in-app help). |
*Technically* you are correct. That's how it's supposed to work, but the advanced notebooks can get super glitchy sometimes. I've found it easier to delete the entire sentence and start over than to try and edit one word. It seems that certain patches or spaces in the notebook become glitch areas where letter forms will break apart or lose strokes. You can't rework those areas reliably by scribbling over for deleting. It's better to just erase the whole sentence, exit out of the notebook, then go back in. And even if it isn't a "glitch area" as I call it, I have noticed that the editing routines aren't quite polished. Technically, I should be able to just scribble over a typo, then insert the fixed text, but then the Elipsa introduces spaces or new lines in the word I'm trying to fix. Again, I find it more practical to erase the word, or even sentence, and just start again.
It's not something that always happens, but I've run into it quite a bit. I expect it will be addressed in a firmware update. Kobo seems to be prioritizing the annotation aspects of the Elipsa in their bug fixes.
