Double tap vs long press. Yeah, I could see that might be better.

Kobo has three types annotations:

- Bookmark is simply the dog ear on the top right corner. So not context is saved
- A highlight is selected text that is saved. The annotation list displays the selected text.
- An annotation is also for highlighted text but you add a note to it. The annotation list displays the selected text.

I suppose when you annotate or highlight a single word, it would be handy to see some text around. But, when I select the "Display on page" option, it takes me to the page with the text highlighted. Then the marked text is in front of me in context.
