I don't do much highlighting so I can't help much with that part but I often read on my phone one handed. Turning pages one handed is easy. Actually I scroll more than turn pages but I use the Kindle app and turn pages some too. Scrolling one handed is even easier.
By the way, if this does interest you you might look for an old Kindle Fire Phone. It's possibly the worst phone ever made but for reading in the Kindle app it's superb. It's the only scrolling Kindle I'm aware of. Not only can you do that one handed, you don't even need hands. You can tilt the screen back about 10 degrees and it begins scrolling. It watches your eyes and it's the angle from the screen to your eyes that matters. Weird gimicky tech, it's true, but in this situation it's really good.
I got my Fire Phone for $59 when Amazon had a sale. I'd hate using this thing as a phone but I never got service for it and never needed it. It's a nice reading device.
Really though, just about any phone will work. Some people don't care for the smaller screen but even large screen phones are available now. I prefer 4.5" to 5" but that's just me.
The drawback reading on a phone is that some people's eyes have a hard time with it. Mine do. I'm limited to about 15 or 20 minute sessions. And it's fairly useless in bright sunlight. My Nexus is okay in daylight as long as I'm in shade. Not ideal but not bad. The Fire Phone is pretty useless outdoors.
