I created the empty file. That makes sense as a workaround.
I moved my own books (25, some published, some being proofed and some needing serious work, all complete) to the SD card.
I don't know if it's using the SD card, or Factory Reset, or blocking Annotations subdirectories, but the selection of a highlight is nearly what it was in speed on earlier Firmware except:
1) If you incidently drag back on direction on same line the highlight selection ceases and no selection is made.
2) I tried the tap thing. It's very slow and awkward, though does seem to work.
Annotation is about x2 or more slower than PW3. I might read a 120K word book in one session so as to "get into it". On the first draft a book might have 100+ to 600+ notes, later the penultimate proof read might have less than 30 notes. Obviously the last proof read should have none!
At least battery life and eye strain is no problem. I never use the front light on the PW3 or H2O as I have nice lighting to read old yellowing paper books.
Proofing on Kindle (I used my clippings and 3 different kindles) and then Kobo with kobo utilities to read annotation has saved a lot of laser printing:
Nearly 30 books and maybe over 20 revisions.
Back in 1980s I was printing drafts on a dot matrix printer and saving on floppies.
1991 to 1996 I was using a Epson Inkjet. Spent more on ink than paper, but proofing on paper needs double space, big margin and single sided to have space to annotate.
So I've saved the cost of all the eReaders I've bought. I may give away the DXG and since I'd given away the Touch and PW obtained before Kobo to family, I bought a PW3 when PW4 came out as I didn't like the sound of the design of screen and do buy from Amazon occasionally (though read on Kobo). The DXG was a big mistake as it was got to read old scanned magazines as PDFs. No touch so slow to highlight and terrible mechanics on keyboard. I don't need the HHGTG feature (free 3G access Wikipedia) as I'm always at WiFi even if I do go out.
