Highlight and dictionary: any book or Kobo books?
Hi,

Tomorrow I'll probably buy a Kobo Glo. One quick question, here:
http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/nook...obo-touch.html

They say that "Has highlights and dictionary, but only for Kobo ebooks.". I'm sure that I've read that if I use the last firmware I could use the dictionary for any book, right?
What about the highglights? Any epub or only the Kobo ones?

Thanks!

Highlight, dictionary and annotations work for me on sideloaded epub books. I seldom use a KEPUB book so not sure if there are many differences for the two formats in the handling of those features .

As the others have said, highlights, dictionary and annotations work for epub books. But, that wasn't the case for the first couple of firmware versions. There isn't a date on the review, but looking at the video in the review, that might be the original firmware version release on the Touch.
