Marked text is not saved.

When I mark text when reading a book, specifically from a PDF imported into the Books application, it is not saved persistently. The truth is, it is annoying to finish a reading session with many lines marked and when entering the app again, to have lost all the track.

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 17

How can I select text in Books Highlighting and copying lines in Books. I can’t select any text in recently purchased Apple books. I like to do that to take notes. Also sometimes I want to look up definitions of single words by selecting them. I no longer can select text in Books.

iPadOS 17 PDF Text Markup Broken, Not Syncing Properly Across Devices Since updating to iPadOS 17.0.2, annotating a PDF with typed text is no longer working properly. I can write with Apple Pencil and these annotations will save correctly in the PDF. These annotations also show up properly when the PDF if viewed from my MacBook Pro. The files are stored in iCloud Drive and updates to the file appear to be working correctly. When writing text on iPad, the text seems to be okay when reopening the edited PDF file: although when the same file has been synced over iCloud Drive and viewed on MacOS, it looks like this: as you can see, the typed text is cropped. I now need to open this file on my MacBook, resize the text and then make use of the file that has been "fixed" on my MacBook, because if I, for example, send the file as edited on my iPad, it will appear as the latter image. I now need to fix the PDF annotations on my MacBook, which seems like an unnecessary step to me, given the fact that PDFs annotated prior to upgrading to iPadOS 17 didn't suffer this problem. Has anyone else experienced this issue and can anyone recommend anything that can solve this issue? Thanks for your time!
