I have around 67 books on it, almost all of them using Calibre and maybe a couple downloaded through Overdrive integration from my library.

I cannot highlight text across pages by holding down on the text until the highlight appears and then dragging the finger to bottom left corner. The page doesn't turn automatically and nothing happens until I release the finger. The highlight menu appears when I release the finger.

I have tried restarting my device, removing and downloading the book again, tried in other books but it doesn't work.
As far as I know, there is no way to highlight across pages. My workaround has been to reduce the font size so the text I want to highlight fits on one page, highlight and then restore the original (i.e. readable to my eyes) font size.

And perhaps a question about highlighting doesn't fit into the topic of this thread which is firmware bugs.
