I'm really curious, do you highlight a lot? And it works ever time?

For me, when I got my Aura HD highlighting almost never worked, then after some updates (maybe about a year) it finally worked every time. Now, since some updates, it's back to not working again.

Can it really be this different among the e-readers?

Should I try a factory reset?

Here is a video of me doing a highlight. This was on the very first try, and is as it's about 80-90% of the time for me.

Davidfor is not paid by Kobo and he pays for his Kobo readers. It would be unfair to make him pay double for his Kobo readers.

This is definitely not normal. I use the highlight function a lot, and have been using it for quite some time, and I've never had that happen to me. Once I press "highlight", it's always correctly registered, on both epub and kepub books.

Yup, that's happened to me.

I find the selection process on the Glo HD much more finicky on the Glo HD than on the Glo.

The long press to even bring up the highlighting options is painfully slow on my Glo HD with 3.15.0 installed. It's very quick and happens almost instantly on my regular Glo with 3.12.1 installed. I'm really hoping the next firmware update fixes that as well as the slow page turns with 3.15.0.

I have now done a factory reset, copied a couple of books (calibre, and the 5 automatically downloaded from my kobo account) and the difference is huge! It's a lot faster in response (everything, including page turns). Highlighting works great for the tests I just made.

Very interesting.

Now I wished I hade tested the db for corruption before, in order to see if that was the case, or if the system can "rot" over time, manually adding updates, etc.

Any ideas?

All I ask..
I downgraded to a previous firmware simply because I found this bug so annoying.
