Unable to mark straight lines in books app

I am still unable to mark automatic straight lines in Books app. I have been using this feature alot in the past. But despite waiting a long time this issue has not been rectified. Can anyone help regarding that?

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Auto-straight in the Books app doesn't work When I try to underline a sentence to make a straight Iine in the books app it doesn’t work anymore. I checked the settings of my apple pencil so many times and i found nothing wrong. I also tried to make a straight line in other apps (Goodnotes and notes app) and it actually worked. So it doesn't work in the books app only. If there's any suggestions to solve this problem, i will be so grateful. Anyway, I already sent a complaint straight to the apple team but up till now, i haven't gotten any reply.

Books IPad OS - Underline feature pdf This is a basic issue that has not yet been resolved. I am not able in iPad OS(12.9) Books app to only underline, the system forces me to highlight in colour, and then thereafter to select the underline feature, then only delete the colour highlight. This has been the case for a few months, but it has not been addressed. Is anyone having the same problem?

Problem with selecting multiple paragraphs of text in apple books app to add notes or highlight text (iPadOS 18.3) When reading many ePub books in the Apple Book app, the ability to select multiple paragraphs at once to take notes or highlight them has disappeared. I noticed that after the update, you can now select one paragraph, but if you drag the selection further, it disappears (if you drag up, a zoom may appear, if down, nothing). At the same time, if you return the selection to the first paragraph without releasing your finger, the selection within this paragraph remains. This problem is observed both on the iPad mini 7 and the iPad Pro 11 M1. Both devices have been updated to iPadOS 18.3. I tried to open the same book on the iPad Pro 11 2018, which still has iPadOS 17.6, and there is no such problem. Everything work fine. Also, there is no such problem on the iPhone 14 Pro and MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro. I can highlight several paragraphs at once and there are no such problems. Please note that the problem does not affect all books, but a fairly large number of those that I tested. There was no such problem before. I am attaching a video to illustrate the problem: https://youtube.com/shorts/dRxGuoD1dWc I hope you will fix this bug, because after the updates the application on iPads started to work worse.
