Same here. I was using OReilly Safari the other day, which also hosts PDFs like Scribd. I kept cutting and pasting sample code from I book I'd purchased, then wondering why the code had ransom spaces inserted into it that kept breaking things.
And then I remembered: Safari is Flash, Scribd is HTML. This is why Safari cut and paste doesn't work.

Scribd dudes: please talk to OReilly.
Safari Books Online can use either HTML or Flash. I'm writing this from my iPad and I have SBO open in the next tab.
Thanks, I didn't know that! Would be a better default.
