Clarificartion on Clippings
Apologies if I missed this somewhere, or did not understand something that was really obvious.
Can someone clarify the situation regarding clipping text from books (both bought and those created by one's own fair hands) on the PRS600: Can text be highlighted and "clipped" out of the book / document in text format and then transferred to a PC for use in Word or another program ? Thanks, Hal. |

* short answer is: No. * long answer is: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55079 Then there is always the option to do this kind of stuff directly on the computer. If you have a non DRM protected document, then there are plenty of programs around that let you extract or convert parts of the text. Last edited by drmaxx; 02-17-2010 at 02:48 AM. |

Actually, you can export your notes to rtf using the sony software. I have succesfully exported highlighted text along with my notes. I'm not sure if it works even if there are no notes to go with the highlighted text, I haven't tried. I believe there is a limit to the amount of highlighted text that you can transfer per note, 100 characters or so.

Yep. The 100 character restriction applies to all books.
There is another trick that you can use. You could 'Russify'(1) your reader, giving you the ability to take screen shots (among other things). This to me seems to be the most elegant solution so far. (1) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64161 |

They says that it's to do with copyright. I can't see the sense of it either.
I'm going to try the russification hack. I'll report back when I do. |
