Yes. When you have the cmd window open if you click on the upper left corner you get a menu which allows you to paste. There is a key stroke to do it, but it is not ctlr-v... I think it is F3. You can also copy from a cmd window... from that same upper left corner choose "Mark" I think it is... then use the mouse to select/highlite what you want to copy... then press enter or choose "Select" from the menu.
A much better option is to get an open source app called console2. It is a wrapper around shells (like command.com, cygwin, powershell) that gives you tabbed windows and make cut/copy/paste much easier.

I would also recommend putting all your ebook command line tools into a single folder and adding that folder to your path. This way, you can run the commands from the folders that contain your ebooks and you don't need to have the .exes in those folders too... nor do you have to copy the ebook files to where the .exes are.
