Ah, my bad! I meant to say bottom-right but typed bottom-left instead, in a hurry. Corrected it now.

I don't know about this feature. Is it a part of a firmware update/software version that I posted?

When I first bought the device, this is what I used to do as well! Until I found out highlighting across pages actually does work. It didn't last though! (I still needed to do this when the text I wanted to highlight was closer to the bottom of the screen because then instead of highlighting, the pages would get flipped quickly!)

Today, I put it in my back pocket after putting it to sleep. I take it out, and it is advancing through pages, with all the pages being highlighted. I had to put it to sleep and wake it up several times to get it to stop.

I swear, it used to work. I highlighted a lot of text across pages recently when I was reading Why We Sleep. Doesn't work anymore and, unfortunately, I don't have that specific book right now to go back and test again.

It could be a file format issue as someone suggested. Now I need to figure out how to check the file format.
