- Press anywhere in the text to dismiss the pop-up
- Put your finger somewhere on the text and drag it up over the screen.
- Text gets marked as you drag.
- Push one of the buttons down the bottom to save the highlight or add a note.

Other than starting it, the only difference I can see is that the highlighting while selecting is an underscore.

As to the handles, I find them fiddly but only use them to adjust a highlight. Normally I want to move them a couple of characters and that doesn't work as well.
You actually don't need to pop up a definition, just hold for a second and then drag your finger and it will select a block of text. Works much better than the handles (which are inexplicably laggy).
