No, but in all seriousness, that to me is just ridiculous from a manufacture perspective. Well, sad really... |
It's not the highlighting, but the exporting as text that's the problem. You could highlight whole chapters, export, et voila, un-DRMed copies made without having to break any "digital locks". I expect the textbook publishers would be pretty unhappy about something like that.
I think it's great that the Boox models can do it. I just don't expect the manufacturers tied to book vending to follow suit.
