to our own notes in Word? Don’t mean to copy their whole contents but important lines and formulas are very helpful part if we create our own notes. I have the 2012 print so eBook for 2013 curriculum makes more sense.
I think so, as long as it’s for personal use and you don’t commercialise it.
Yes. In fact, as I remember it, when you copy it and repaste it, it actually pastes it with all the referencing info as well to show where it came from!
It seems as if that should be ok due to the fair use doctrine. Moreover, I doubt VitalSource would sue you over that.

Copyright does not prohibit all copying or replication. In the United States, the fair use doctrine, codified by the Copyright Act of 1976 as 17 U.S.C. Section 107, permits some copying and distribution without permission of the copyright holder or payment to same. The statute does not clearly define fair use, but instead gives four non-exclusive factors to consider in a fair use analysis. Those factors are:
- the purpose and character of your use
- the nature of the copyrighted work
- what amount and proportion of the whole work was taken, and
- the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.[30]
