the android app has had this for a while, too.

 

It's quite surprising. The material is copyrighted but now you can just copy the whole text of a book into a pdf and send it out to everyone.

people have been doing this as long as there have been scanners

 

well, but there's a big difference between scanning and copy/pasting. When you C/P, you immediately have editable, formatable text. I really find it amazing that e-readers are permitted to enable the function.

btw, the Win 8 Kindle app does NOT have this function. Or any other functions. It's pure c-r-a-p. (this matters to me because I would really like to enjoy my Kindle purchases on my ultrabook, and although I can read them all, I can't change font, or text size, or zoom images, or look up words in the dictionary, or translate, or ... anything. Harumph)
