I have the current version - 6.31
However, after about 30 min in a chat with two different Amazon “help” associates, I did get an answer!
For those who find themselves lacking an “other” as I was, open a book and go to the “Aa” (font) and there should be a “Popular Highlights” toggle there. No idea why it would be under font, but at least I was able to turn it off!
I haven’t checked whether that setting stays true for all books or if it needs to be updated every time a new book is opened.
For 2 reasons
Currently on iPad you have to go to a, ie the font setting, and then go to more and then you can supposedly turn off popular highlights
But they always come back
Total nightmare
Sometimes you have to call Amazon to sort it
Horrible
Hooray now I can read, highlight and just keep reading without all the little menus blocking the text.
Again thank you.
