From Hordelings:


Yes, you can select text and copy it
Yes, printing is not locked

I’m impressed, and not a little surprised by it.

There is a watermark which isn’t nearly as subtle or hidden as I expected (though I imagine there’s a more hidden one, as well).

Well, it was never supposed to be free. It was supposed to cost "a nominal fee."

Also... None of my 4e books have a code on them that I can find for this purpose. Something tells me the feature isn't ready yet and that future products will be more likely to support it.

Same thing that happens to most speculations. It never materialized because it wasn't real.
