I don't know about the dvd, but the digital version of the magazine through Nook is a epub. I did not renew my print subscription and bought the last issue for the iPad. Have not read it yet, but experimented and found you can copy and paste if you open it with Adobe Digital Editions instead of Nook. I also can copy and paste off the Nook on the iPad.
I put the epub file in my iTunes library under books. It synced and I can now open it under iBooks on my iPad and can copy, highlight, annotate, etc. I copied a section and pasted it in a message without problems.
If the DVD uses the same technology, then you should be able to copy and paste. I just read that the recipes are printable, so they could be printed to a file that would make them editable I imagine.
The question is what extension the file would have when you copy it from the dvd to the hard drive. I saw someone ordered it so hopefully they will report back on that. I hate it that this forum does not let you go back to a post and then come back without losing what you've written.
I saw that they have a 100% satisfaction warranty, so it should be returnable if you can't copy it in an usable form. I know Fine Cooking has offered the same thing in a dvd for years, but you can't copy anything from theirs. Of course it does not matter as all their recipes are readily available on their website and their iPad version is free with the print edition.
