Feature request: add transparency adjustment to the marker pen so it can be used as a highlighter in Neoreader
It is very counter-intuitive that such an important feature as a highlighter is not existed for note taking functions, but a non-transparent marker pen exists for some reason.
Why don’t I like to use the long-press texts and select the text to highlight feature, but prefer using handwriting highlight:
1. It takes more time to recognize which text has been selected. On top of that, at least half of the time the selected text is wrong, so I have to manually adjust which texts I actually want to select.
2. Using the pen to select text is much more accurate than using finger. However, right now the new version of Neoreader use AI ”Smart Scribe” button for this setting, instead of a single button to switch between pen selecting text and hand writing mode, which makes it hard to take notes and do highlighting at the same time. If I want to switch between writing and pen selecting, I will have to do 4 more steps each time : open the side bar -> press the “AI smart scribe” button -> toggle on/off the ”Mark Recognition” -> close the side bar (because it covers a lot of texts)
3. The hand triggered highlighter can’t add more color presets, so when I want to highlight a different color, I will have to choose a new color manually, which also slows down the reading speed as well as breaking the flow. The handwriting tool bar, on the other hand, allows me to save 5 preset pens. So I only need to click once to switch.
4. I can’t think of a scenario where one would use a non-transparent marker to annotate when reading a document. Marker would be pretty cool as a drawing tool, but for taking notes, highlighters are used much more frequently.
Another issue for 10.3” tablets is that, when reading a A4 or letter size print (textbooks or academic papers), Neoreader’s settings either make the letter size way too big (such as using 2x2 mode), or too small (such as only cutting out the margins, also, cutting off the margins makes it impossible to taking notes on the margins either). It would be better to allow user to zoom-out when using a multi-column mode, as: first displaying upper-left 60% of the page, then jump to the upper-right 60%, then bottom-left 60%, then bottom-right 60%.

I wish I could up-vote this a million times. I'm sure that everyone that gets their tablet is shocked to find out that there isn't a hi-liter tool. Whaaaaaat!!!!?????!!!???
I'd like to add that this isn't just a NeoReader issue -- I think it's just as important that this get added to Notes. Honestly, I just can't believe that this doesn't exist. If I'm just missing how to do this please let me know!
