At risk to be repetitive, one solution is the one I already proposed in the first post:

1. there's a new button to the bottom menu of the book, "Start to select". Press it.
2. press the text to select the start of the selection. If you fail, you can press again and again until you spot on. A simple line is displayed where you clicked.
3. the button now changed to "End selection". Press it.
4. Guess what? You can do the same as you did to get the start of selection.
5. the button changed to "Confirm". Press it.
5. now the usual "Highlight" or "Add a note" buttons are displayed. You can press one of them, and voila'

Thank you, I'll try. I had installed it one time on my Glo, but I broken it

I don't think so. I'm not an expert, but the Kobo hardwares seems superior to the Kindle ones. The problem is I noticed that when you select the text, the page is refreshed every time you add or remove a selection. This is an overkill for an e-ink device. My solution should speed up things a lot.

The problem is that Kobo devs want to emulate the selection of normal touch devices like android, so long press, select, drag and release, and then the possibility to adjust with start and end markers. This just not work with e-ink device. My solution is IMHO much simpler and efficient for this kind of devices.

A physical book can be read and highlighted, you can write notes on it, add bookmarks and use it as a wedge for you chair, launch it to a fastidious person, use to kill flies, use it as a fan and you can smash it on the table to get attention
