If you are using the latest version of uBook, you can select text by pressing down with the stylus and dragging to the right (or down, or up) and the text you selected will be highlighted. When you lift your stylus off the screen, a pop-up menu will appear, with options like "Bookmark", "Highlight", "Strike", etc. Choose whichever option you want to use. "Bookmark" leaves a box around the selected text, "Highlight" actually highlights the text, "Strike" strikes out the selected text, etc. There is also an option in this pop-up menu to "Lookup" the definition of the selected word, if you have a dictionary installed and you've configured it in the uBook options.

Note: if you tap twice on a word, it will select the whole word and display the pop-up menu automatically.

If you want to remove an annotation, tap on it once and the pop-up menu will appear with an option (second from the top) to "Delete". This deletes the annotation, not the actual text.

To actually use your annotations, you will need to use the arrow symbols at the bottom of the uBook window. How these arrow symbols appear will depend on which skin you are using. If you are using the default uBook skin, across the bottom of the window you will see something like this:

<<<< <<< <: <<14/66>> :> >>> >>>>

The "14/66" in the center indicates you are on page 14 of 66 total pages. The double arrows >> to either side of the numbers are to go forward or back one page. The single arrow and colon :> are to go forward or back one chapter (if your document has chapters). The triple arrows >>> are to go forward or back through your annotations. This is the function I believe you are looking for. The four arrows >>>> are to go forward or back through your recent documents.

I know the interface on uBook is not the most polished, but once you get used to these features, it can be a very powerful reader for you.

Hope this helps!
