It's not a perfect solution by any means...but it does work.

Actually this works pretty well for me, even though (get this!) I'm running w10 on a Kangaroo PC that is tethered to my iPad, running an app that serves as a touch display for the PC.
Prior to this, the only way to get the reading options toolbars to display was to right click with the wireless keyboard+trackpad I use with the Kangaroo PC (windows-ese for 'bring up context menu'). I would expect a long touch would be the equivalent, since that is how one brings up context menu on Windows normally (just as right click does). But it does not work with the Kindle app, at least with my iPad-as-touchscreen.
Creating highlights/notes and dictionary lookup is a little flakey on my touchscreen. Sometimes it works, mostly not.
I need to do some study of Windows touch gestures, it is pretty new to me and I'm sure I'm ignorant of some of them.
I would like to see Amazon do a universal Windows app, as I play with the Kindle app on a cheap Lumia phone running w10m. Functionally, the available mobile app is not that different than the desktop app, but if they were converged, it should be easier for Amazon to add features to both, which would be welcome. Kobo's app is universal, as is Freda and probably a couple of others.
