Looking through the Internet I found a mention of a book that Churchill was given as a child to help with his slow reading ability.  "Reading without tears". Then going through the Internet I found "Google Play Books" which appeared to hold a large number of E-Books.  I attempted to upload it and am still at it several hours later.  Has anyone got experience with "Google Play Books"?

Things got worse when this message came up, "You have used 1% of your entitlement."

I just opened an E-book bought from Google Plays I think and copied a paragraph that I wanted to comment on and a message appeared that said something like, “"You have used 1% of your entitlement."  This raised a couple of questions such as,

“What is ones entitlement?”

“Who determines the level of the entitlement?”

“Is it possible to negate this rule and neutralise DRM?”

The reason why I ask those questions is that I am dyslexic which might explain why when I'm reading a book and want to copy a sentence from it to my computer by the time I have moved my eyes from the book to the computer I have forgotten what I wanted to type.

As a result I cut and paste paragraphs from either an E-Book or scan pages of a book that I have and work from those scans deleting them afterwards.

I just attempted to copy a few lines from the opening of a book from a different vender than Google Play, "Six minutes in May" and a message came up saying, "libro.eb20.net says, You have reached your copy quota, or the publisher of this text has not enabled copying for this title." I find this totally unacceptable.

As you might have gathered I am new to E-Books
