How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

I'm very late to the conversation but thought I'd chime in since I've just been dealing with this myself. One way to copy from Kindle books is to make sure that you have your settings to backup highlights etc. online, then highlight the text in the Kindle app, go to your Kindle webpage (https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights) and copy the text from there.

Remember, to be able to do this you have to set the app to backup highlights etc. I think this is set individually for each book. On my iPad the default is to backup.

You can also take a snapshot of the page using the home and the on/off button at the same time. I find this works well when I want to save a picture from a magazine.

I think in general, cutting pieces from an eMagazine is not very easy. If you google this, you will find some discussion of it, as well as a recognition that cutting up magazines is something people love about printed magazines. I especially like this with recipes.

Thank you so much! This has truly helped me, and I'm sure so many others!

Strangely when I first logged into the site it said I had no books associated. I then went to the my books link; which listed my books. I then went to the My Highlights link from within this page, and lo and behold; my highlights started showing up!

Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I was able to follow your instructions and it worked!!
