Is there a reason why i can't select/copy text from a pdf in ibooks?
this is really annoying
 
PDFs

PDFs don't allow you to do that on the iPad..I get the books that I want to highlight and copy & paste in EPUB format
 
pretty sucky that ibooks lacks these basic features for pdf
well if it wasn't intentionally left out that is

pdf is kind of an after-thought for ibooks. If I remember correctly, the original version of ibooks didn't even let you read pdfs. Like other posters have said, if you want to work with pdf, get an app that is specifically geared towards that.
