-- Particularly, Kobo ebooks allow highlighting a word or group of words, in the first twenty pages of the book, and thereafter, the function does not work any more.
Strangely, if I go back to page 1, or 2 of the Kobo ebook, I can highlight any word in a paragraph, but not if I then jump forward to page 100.
-- As for sideloaded epubs added to the Aura from calibre, I hardly manage to make one or two highlight on page 1, and that is all I can do.
How the highlight function works for you, please ? Am I missing something about the proper way to make highlights ? I should be most grateful for your help.
Thank you.

Eight years later, Kobo has still not fixed this problem. I like my Kobo, but I am very unhappy that I cannot see my highlights on my Kobo's screen. I chatted with one of their customer service representatives, and they acted like I was the first person to encounter this problem. Amazon Kindles can highlight text in .mobi files with no problems. It cannot be that difficult for Kobo to fix the highlighting problem that their devices have.
