Hi Christiaan,
thanks for the reply
I’m still struggling with the concept of a selection but the main problem is
that the page number and the position the Kindle delivers are inaccurate. So I
would have to search through the complete document. If a search term appears
more then once it is impossible to determine the correct one for the highlight.
