I just purchased my first ebook at Google Play
<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%3Fhl%3Den_US&amp;data=02%7C01%7CCLASSICS-L%40lsv.uky.edu%7Cb1afee6c10a741e02aa308d6bf4900a1%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C1%7C636906717597051994&amp;sdata=riknmQr8TFQNNscPQUI6g%2BFmcKAC9TBwOJL%2FS7vOuw8%3D&amp;reserved=0>. Now I find that I cannot copy
text from it.  Dunno if that is for just this text, but if so, side-by-side
with Kindle, it looks bad, especially because the book cost a substantial
amount.
This might be the work not of Google but of the publisher, de Gruyter.  If
so, egg is on their faces.
