Hey guys, I'm seriously considering the Edge. I research extensively and would like to replace my 150-pages-of-pdfs-a-week habit with the Edge. From the videos, I see the annotation and highlighting features, but I have not seen a demo of the copy-and-paste feature. What I need, and it is really a deal breaker, is the ability to highlight at least 4-5 lines of text from a non-DRM pdf (Google book, for example), copy that text to the Edge's clipboard, and paste it in a document or email. Can the Edge do this? Does it do it well? What is the capacity of the copy-and-paste software? Can it handle 10, 15, 20 lines of text? Thanks in advance!
