    Don’t fuck with copy too, my schools e-textbook thing won’t let you copy text when quoting it for an essay.

    Edit: I appreciate the help but this is on a school laptop, we can’t install anything nor open inspect element. Also I already found a workaround by cntrl+c-ing before I lift the left click and it goes to highlight mode.

      Cengage? McGraw?

      Both have that problem in my classes so I went hard into the open access stuff for my students.

      Kindle does the same thing. It’s so frustrating.

      My textbook on Norton has all the text in <p> tags if you inspect the page. It’s annoying to have to go to such lengths to copy text, but it works.
