Selecting Text to Look up Words, Add Highlighting or Notes, and Share Quotes with Friends

You can select a word or a passage of text. Once you have selected a word, you can look it up in a dictionary. You can also select words or passages for highlighting, making notes, or sharing through email or social media networks such as Facebook.

To select a word or a passage of text, press and hold on a word and then lift your finger.

The word appears highlighted, and two vertical bars will appear on either side of it, defining the start and end of the selected text. At the same time, the Text Selection Toolbar appears, as shown below.
