Does anybody know how to turn off the new 'quick' highlights feature of the firmware update. The previous version with the 'Highlight' button was excellent, nothing would get stored in 'My Clippings.txt' until that button was hit. With the erratic way that highlights happen with my thick fingers, being able to try again was useful.

With this new version I don't have a choice, so 'My Clippings.txt' is filling up with entries I don't have a choice.

Also I haven't figure out exactly how to get the old version of highlighting, sometimes I get the new version, other times I get the old version.

I use the 'My Clippings.txt' file for proof reading my books. Every book I buy I convert to MS word, save as pdf and side load to my Kindle. I've written an app that parses 'My Clippings.txt' and searches the DOCX file for that highlight so I can make the necessary corrections - I have yet to buy a eBook that hasn't had mistakes, from an occasional spelling mistake to whole pages replaced by pages from another author - or chapters missing.
