How can I copy text spanning multiple pages in iBook?

I like to drop sections of text from i

books into letters, journal entries etc and for the life of me I cannot figure out the functionality of grabbing text that spans multiple pages.

With the book in question open, tap on the themes icon (upper right, aA). Select Themes and then Scrolling.

Hi James,

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out. You actually solved the problem. I am able to select as much text as I want now. The bummer is the lame feature where you cannot take more than a couple hundred words at a time. The section I wanted was about one and a half pages and it took me 3 separate copy pastes to get it all. Does anyone know of software or a trick to overcome this limitation?

James thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

That actually a function of the DRM limitations and is up to the publisher, not Apple. A handful of books will allow you to copy more, but most won't.
