Hi,

Thank you for your response.
Sometimes you want to select text to quote somewhere, to translate,...etc. The same reason we ever wanted to select a text I guess.

I think you misunderstood me. I was talking about reading through calibre content server on mobile browser, not the viewer on PC. Or maybe I misunderstood, the highlighting features is not here yet ?

Regardless the problem, I think the Lookup interface poping up shouldn't behave like this on mobile. Because the selection text handle is a native feature of mobile, the poping up interface disable it, and we shouldn't override a native feature on principle, IMHO.
