Nothing weird about that. Not just weird, but unacceptable is disabling copy/paste. The traditional Kindle devices have always supported a sort of copy/paste equivalent, in the snippets file.
Until an electronic library allows us to use an app of our choice to read the books, or until they produce a truly superior reading app, instead of the utter mediocrity of Kindle/iBooks, that type of e-library subscription service will be of very limited usefulness.
I quite like the idea of "social DRM". But that might not be enough for publishers. Yet if they insist on draconic DRM impacting the reading experience, piracy will prevail.
