I noticed copy to clipboard is not available in Books app for selected word or section of text. It works as expected in PDF, DRM-free eBook such as self-published but not in purchased eBooks. I guess this is DRM restriction. This may have been the case for a while as I have been reading a lot of self-published books (such as the excellent digital antiquarian series). Occasionally use this to copy a word or quote to clipboard if I want to keep it or check it.

Has anyone noticed if this is the same or changed behaviour compared to iOS 16? It is the same on iOS 17 on iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad OS 17 on iPad Pro. Seems be the same on macOS as copy is disabled.
