Hello,

If you go to school or college and use iBooks for reading and need to quote from a book in a writing assignment, you have probably found that you cannot copy and paste text into a word processing app. I found a trick to do this. If you highlight the text, then click search, then click search web. It will open the text in Safari, and from there you can copy and paste it from the Google search box.

I hope I helped!
 
That's really helpful. Thanks man!

Now if only I could highlight in PDFs in iBooks. I bought PDF Reader Pro, but I prefer iBooks.
