Highlighting - A Request to be Considered

Assuming Dave Dunkin and his mobile team are (or will be) working on highlighting on the iOS app now or soon, I have a request for your consideration:

In other reading (eBook) apps like Kindle for iOS, to highlight something you have to follow these steps:

1) press-hold on a word to have it selected;

2) drag one of the tiny blue round "handles" to expand the selection;

3) select the Highlight option.

I personally find this very tedious and inefficient, especially step 2 (dragging the little blue round handle).  I would like to propose that the Logos app follow a more natural and intuitive way of highlighting:

1) press a button on the screen to go into "Highlighting mode";

2) use your finger to highlight text, much the same way you would use a physical yellow highlighter;

3) press the Highlight button again to turn off "Highlighting mode".

Dave/Logos - Is this feasible?  Is this against Apple's UI standards? 

Other users - Is this preferable to the Kindle app's way of highlighting?  What's your thoughts?

Thanks for considering.
