I am new to PB with my verse pro. I am doing a lot of reading, sort of for research. So I am marking text to remind me to go back and work on some things. This is just not going very well. Last night I spent, maybe 15 minutes, trying to get a couple of sentences highlighted.

Thes sentences were in the middle of the page. When I long pressed the first word of text, I began to highlight everything from the beginning of the page. I tried everything: bring the top of page marker down (no good). Move end of text marker then move first marker (no good either). Retry. Close book. restart. Go to note tool and try that. Fiddlesticks.

I never got the text I wanted highlighted. I ended up bookmarking the page and writing a short cryptic note to myself. Maybe I will be able to work with this when I get back to it.

Now someone. Is this a warranty issue? As anyone talked to the company on the subject, or will I be the first?

I think this problem is real showstopper for someone who is wanting to try another reader and thinks PB is it. I really like the reading experience. I want this to work. But, my goodness, what a frustration.
