Here's how you do it, so you can have text to follow as well. Be warned, though, that the select/de-select gestures can be very challenging. In fact, I've used iOS for almost three years, and I still can't do it right most of the time.
1. In a text field, or anywhere you can highlight text, move to the start of the text you want to select, by any means (double tap an editing text field to jump to the start, move with the rotor, whatever you want). 2. Move the rotor to the text item by which you want to select. That is, if you rotor to words, you will select by word. 3. Pinch in with two fingers. Every successful pinch will select one rotor item. So, if you are still set to words, each pinch will highlight one word. 4. If you select too much, just pinch out to de-select by the current rotor item. You may change rotor items in the midst of a selection, so you could start by line and then choose words to select part of a line. 5. Once you have selected the text you want, rotor to "edit", then flick up or down until you find the item you want (copy or cut) and double tap. You can also hit delete on the keyboard, or just start typing to replace the selected text.
