This is what frequently occurs to me as well, and I have always thought about a way to solve the problem.

I edit in epub, so when I need to proof, I flip it to AZW3 and put it on the Kindle. Then as I find errors, I highlight them. Finally, I take a copy of the notes file off the Kindle, open it in a text editor, and have it up parallel to the book. Then I can just scroll the two down together and make corrections, which is fairly efficient. I find I can spot a lot more this way, reading more naturally, than anything on a screen.
This seems a very good proposal, thank you for it! I only doubt if the way is possible with a Kobo Touch.
