also, as a general touchscreen question, I'd be curious if it is possible to highlight while turning a page. this works on the K3. is this working on the glo or kindle touch?

Do you have a specific question about annotations/bookmarks/highlights/clippings? I don't know what "my_clippings" are as I don't own a K3 so I can't really give you a differences and similarities summary...
How exactly does highlighting
while turning a page work? On a touch screen, if you tap (or swipe) to turn a page, the page just turns without any further options... To highlight, you have to either (a) press and hold a word, then wait for the selection to come up (and then press the x in the dictionary box that pops up with the word's definition). That one word will then be selected and the beginning and end of the word has a "balloon" type thing attached which you can drag to select more words; or (b) swipe your finger over the screen from top to bottom, and the selection possibility opens up: you can now tap a word and it is immediately selected (as opposed to tap-and-hold in option a). The further selecting of more words works the same as in option a (after you closed to word's definition pop-up).
If you want to select and highlight a sentence that starts on page 5 and continues on to page 6... I'm afraid you can't do that (at least, I couldn't find a way to make it work). As you're in selection mode while selecting text, you can't turn the page because tapping or swiping the screen to turn the page just selects the text you touched. You'd have to select and highlight the first part of the sentence, exit selection mode, turn page, enter selection mode again and select and highlight the rest of the sentence.
I hope that answers your question!
