I suppose they could be somehow detecting that but I think that if that were the case they'd do more than disable copy. Now there is one BIG difference in that the 'non-copy' version was running through Wine on Linux. Went through the user settings, went through the registry settings and made them the same - no difference. Initially they were different versions so I upgraded the one that was further behind. I just tried this on two PCs and one had the copy item when you highlight, the other had 'search' in its place.

(Disclaimer: I am not asking for a way to circumvent DRM, I am only asking for the location of a line of code that controls a certain feature in a computer application, something that is undeniably there.)

IвЂ™m not tech-savy enough to find that setting, let alone determine its dependence on external factors, but I would hope that someone here is and come up with a step-by-step solution to getting a Kindle for PC/Mac (IвЂ™m actually on the Mac myself) app that *allows* copying of text. And I hope that this could lead to a permanent modification that would finally enable the copy feature for everyone. when the internet is off), I hope that there is a line in some settings file that stores this information.

Everything could be so perfect: you read anywhere, go back to your computer to find everything highlighted there ready to copy to your paper/article/website etc, but it isnвЂ™t.ДЄt least not for non-US users. Often, highlights are just pointers and you need the surrounding paragraph to know the context of a quote, which then entails вЂњmanually synchronizingвЂќ the the clippings file and text, which is even more awkward than typing from one window to another, on the same computer. But that is not exactly the way it should work. I have to restrain myself to вЂњonly use the PaperwhiteвЂќ because then I could use Clippings Converter or use the Kindle cloud service. And everytime I resort to a Kindle book, it gets tricky. I actually think that this is precisely the reason why I havenвЂ™t been using Kindle books more for research, having to type-copy everything just made me get the books, not from Amazon though because I get a huge discount from another retailer. One thing that has been annoying me forever and is the one thing that Amazon stubbornly refuses: the impossibility to copy text from their PC/Mac reading apps.
