once again DRM measures prevent legitimate use whilst not stopping (potential) infringement. it's ironic that it's disabling copy but unable to stop the defeat of DRM as a whole and so I'm able to copy the entire text but not select snippets i.e.Now that's all speculation/educated guesswork but if it's true it leads to a couple of interesting thoughts:
#PRINT FROM KINDLE FOR MAC CODE#
Now these are books I've legitimately bought from Amazon but maybe the fact that the file is being read through an emulation layer, or one of the missing/wonky win32 function calls is causing it to trigger a piece of code which is detecting "DRM issues" and disabling the copy function. Which tells me there's code in there that's looking for what it thinks of as suspicious behaviour w.r.t DRM. To be fair though I'm reading fiction for pleasure, so whilst I highlight, I rarely copy.Ĭode: createDocumentInfoInternal(C:\users\paul\My Documents\My Kindle Content\B002RI9XOW_EBOK.azw) - DRM issueA quick strings on the kindle exe shows this is a K4PC message not a wine one.

Since it also happens on Mac apparently I veer toward one of the first two.įor me personally this is not an issue as the reason I have it running on Wine is so I can import into Calibre via Alf's tools and so I can always copy from there if need be. IMHO there's either some hidden setting that's different, or it's a bug that causes the copy button to disappear, or some secondary effect of being on Wine. I suppose they could be somehow detecting that but I think that if that were the case they'd do more than disable copy. Now there is one BIG difference in that the "non-copy" version was running through Wine on Linux. Went through the user settings, went through the registry settings and made them the same - no difference. Initially they were different versions so I upgraded the one that was further behind. I just tried this on two PCs and one had the copy item when you highlight, the other had 'search' in its place. (Disclaimer: I am not asking for a way to circumvent DRM, I am only asking for the location of a line of code that controls a certain feature in a computer application, something that is undeniably there.)
I’m not tech-savy enough to find that setting, let alone determine its dependence on external factors, but I would hope that someone here is and come up with a step-by-step solution to getting a Kindle for PC/Mac (I’m actually on the Mac myself) app that *allows* copying of text. And I hope that this could lead to a permanent modification that would finally enable the copy feature for everyone. when the internet is off), I hope that there is a line in some settings file that stores this information. And since it cannot do that at any time (e.g.

The reasoning is this: the app must somehow determine where it is (since it is the same app no matter where you download it) and accordingly enable or disable the “copy” feature.

Customers from the US are free to copy from their computer app to their heart’s desire, which gave me the idea: “hey, there must be something in the settings somewhere that can be changed”. Everything could be so perfect: you read anywhere, go back to your computer to find everything highlighted there ready to copy to your paper/article/website etc, but it isn’t.Īt least not for non-US users. Often, highlights are just pointers and you need the surrounding paragraph to know the context of a quote, which then entails “manually synchronizing” the the clippings file and text, which is even more awkward than typing from one window to another, on the same computer. But that is not exactly the way it should work. I have to restrain myself to “only use the Paperwhite” because then I could use Clippings Converter or use the Kindle cloud service. And everytime I resort to a Kindle book, it gets tricky. I actually think that this is precisely the reason why I haven’t been using Kindle books more for research, having to type-copy everything just made me get the books, not from Amazon though because I get a huge discount from another retailer. One thing that has been annoying me forever and is the one thing that Amazon stubbornly refuses: the impossibility to copy text from their PC/Mac reading apps.
