Could it possibly have to do with German laws concerning copyright, etc.?
The app file I am using is from amazon.com so I am pretty sure there are no differences as far as the file is concerned...
I have actually made inquiries to the US and the German support: the former, some time ago, told me that he'd forward my request to the developers (not knowing that it shouldn't be a problem) the latter told me that the feature is intentionally not there for copyright reasons but was perplexed when I told him that the feature is there (I showed him your screenshot) and simply does not work for me (and never has)... He went on to tell me that he'd forward this to the developers but that he was unable to supply me with any information as to the specifics of why copying was possible for some users but not for others...
