Here is how the Kobo Glo's highlighting system should have worked.
Scroll to the 8:10 second mark of the video to see how much easier the Paperwhite highlights sentences

Have you actually tried to do this with the Glo? It doesn't start the same way but, it does work like that. Do this:
- Long tap on a word to select it.
- The word gets marked, and the dictionary pops up
- 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.
