Copy and Pasting

Just like the printing feature found in the eBook, you have a set quota of words that you can copy from each section. After copying the text, you will receive a message that clearly defines how many more words you can copy from this particular section before your copying quota is met.

If you go over your copying quota the first time you attempt to copy text from a section of the eBook, you'll receive a message that you have exceeded your quota and that you need to select fewer words and try again.
