Is it possible to quote from Play Books?

[Villordsutch]

Just a wonder if it is possible to quote from Play Books on my Nexus 7, either via in app tools or copy and paste?

I've had a look in the app and cannot see anything that may let me, so it's thought I would ask.

Thank you

Doesn't look like it. You can long-press and highlight text, as well as attach a note to the highlighted text, but I don't see an option to cut & paste. I imagine it has to do with copyright laws.

Thank you both for the answers. On the Kindle app you can't either (you used to be able to on the old Kindle however), it's odd however on the Kindle app, if you highlight on a book bought via Amazon you highlights are automatically placed on a website (after sync) for you to copy and paste, however if you've bought the book whether you highlights aren't posted to the website. I'm guessing Amazon has placed in a copyright rule bender.

Again thank you for your quick answers.
