I have asked a number of publishers for permission to temporarily copy one of their books but most don’t even reply.
If the legally obtained book is in eBook format (ePub or mobi) you can do just about anything you want with it, via Calibre and Apprentice Alf, including cut and paste. PDF depends on what kind of PDF. If it's just images of the pages bound together, then you'll still have to OCR scan it (like you would a physical book). If it's a "real" PDF you can either cut and paste directly from the book, or convert it into another format for copying and pasting.
