title_body: Annotating/highlighting passages spanning page boundaries
upvoted_answer: My Kobo Glo, updated to the 3.12.1 firmware version, can highlight and take notes on a multiple pages basis.
  
  Anyway, I noticed that it only does it when using Kepub files and not with standard Epub books (Kobo ereaders have two different viewing engines for standard epub and their own slightly modified kepub).
  
  If this is acceptable to you, you can use Calibre to transfer files to the ereader, there is a plugin that can optimise them to be used with the kepub viewer.
  
  (Also take a look at an answer that I gave to another question https://ebooks.stackexchange.com/a/4676/136 )
