iBooks Book Marks
Is there really no way to get the bookmarks (let alone, for now, the need to take notes on books) off of the iPad and on to my computer in some format, any format, that can be used in other ways?
It seems to depend on the book - I've picked up a bunch of the Project Gutenburg books and the copy function works on them. But, they're the free ones! On books I've purchased, the copy function isn't there, presumably blocked for copyright protection.
The Kindle app won't let you copy either. But I just checked and NPR News and BBC news both allow copying - USA Today doesn't. If you can copy something, you can simply paste into an email to yourself to transfer it somewhere else.
I guess we'll have to go through each app and see if it will copy. I suspect DRM-protected books will always have 'copy' disabled.
hope this helps! Scott
