There are some bugs with selection near the top of screen when reading epubs.

Firstly, you can't select the last word of a paragraph that continues from the previous screen. If you long press on it, whatever would happen when you tap that part of the screen happens (page turn or display the menu). The punctuation at the end of the paragraph affects this. Trying to select this word by dragging your finger, doesn't show the selection, but the menu is displayed and the annotation is saved.

Trying to select the word in the top right corner, will select it, set the dog-ear bookmark, but not display the annotations menu. Tapping somewhere on the screen will display the menu.

Adjusting the highlight has never worked well. A lot of times, I'll just start again. It seems to work better during the initial selection.
