I'd like to know if "please don't be" is properly used in the following:
M: The book was quite hard for him. He spent a whole year reading it.
W: Oops, I’m sorry ...
M: Please don’t be. He really enjoyed the book. And he learned a lot of new words.

Yes, it's used correctly. The word "sorry" is elided from
Please don't be sorry.

It's a natural thing to say in some contexts. For example, imagining that W feels he inadvertently suggested too long and difficult a book for M's "he", it does seem natural. Commented Jun 28, 2021 at 2:14
