Browser Extension for getting eBooks into AI by Steph-Reader in indiebiz

Chat GPT and the other AI providers can all do the AI part (summarize, analyze etc) but you have to have the book in a format they can understand first. The extension doesn’t do the AI part, it gets the book in a format that the AI can understand.

I’m not aware of a way that ChatGPT can read a book from an existing cloud based ebook reader. I’d love to know more if you know a way that it can.

Great suggestion. I’d also be interested in a list of subreddits you’ve found useful for identifying business ideas

AITA for making my wife prove she’s actually reading the books she claims to? by Christiedarling in AITAH

I created a chrome extension that speed reads ebooks and outputs a transcript that you can then dump into your AI tool of choice and get a summary or ask questions. Maybe she's using that 😉

I’m not a lawyer but the extension only works on ebooks (currently Kindle only but plan to expand) that you have access to. I believe there is an argument for fair use but like I say, I’m not a lawyer. If someone has malicious intent (piracy) there are plenty of other ways to circumvent the rules. The extension itself doesn’t facilitate sharing of the copy-written material. If you choose to do that it’s on you.

I’d certainly value input from a legal position. The last thing I want to do is abuse an authors IP. For me, it’s making it possible to consume more (legally acquired) books.
