Exporting notes from iBooks.

I want to export all my highlighted notes from a novel that I have purchased (Ian McEwan’s ‘Atonement’). I know how to do this (edit, select all, share etc) but it will not let me. The ‘share’ option is greyed out. Does anyone know why? Is there a work around? Spoken to a lot of advisors from Apple but no-one able to work out why or how.

Got latest software (iOS 11.0.2). Using iPhone 7. Tried login back in to iCloud. Restart. Restore.

I get the feeling that it is either a malfunction in the app or it could be due to rights restrictions on the texts. Either way I think that apple need to make it clear. If there are restrictions, what are they? Otherwise it just looks like a malfunction.

For me, it’s not greyed out... there are just no functions available when I say share.

If I only select one, it allows me to share it. Really frustrating if I have to do it one at a time.
