For whatever reason, Kindle can't copy text from PDF documents. Another restriction you may run into from time to time is where the author or publisher has placed limits on the amount of text you can copy. Hawking's A Briefer History of Time, for example, allows no text at all to be copied.

If the book you copied text from is from Amazon, you can also go to Amazon, sign into your Kindle account, and view (and copy) the passages you've underlined online. The nice thing about that is that the passages are sorted by book, and not the order they were copied, as they are in the "My Clippings" file.
