Share Kindle QuotesWith Your Group
Pull discussion passages from Kindle books for your book club's group chat, discussion guide, or meeting prep.

Why Can't You Just Share Kindle Passages?
You want to discuss the chapter 7 reveal. The group chat needs the actual passage, not a vague paraphrase.
TextMuncher extracts text from Kindle books so book club members can share passages in group chats, build discussion guides, and prep for meetings without retyping. The browser extension captures pages from Kindle Cloud Reader automatically with high-accuracy OCR. Better discussions when everyone has the actual words.
Kindle Limits Quote Sharing
Amazon caps copying at about 10% of any book. Book clubs that quote heavily run into the wall fast.
Screenshots Are Awkward in Chat
Pasting page screenshots into Discord or WhatsApp loses searchability. Nobody can quote-reply or highlight.
Discussion Guides Take Hours
Whoever leads the meeting types out passages by hand. Three discussion questions plus three quotes is a 30-minute prep job.
How TextMuncher Helps Book Clubs
Better Group Chat Discussions
Share the actual passage as text. Members can quote, react, and discuss specific lines, not vague impressions.
Faster Discussion Guides
Pull passages into a Notion doc or Google Doc with discussion questions. Share once, everyone has the same prep.
AI-Generated Question Starters
Drop a chapter into Claude or ChatGPT and ask for five book-club-style discussion questions. Edit, then send to the group.
How It Works
Three steps. No technical knowledge required.
1. Install TextMuncher
Add to Chrome in 10 seconds. No account required.
2. Open the Book

Is sharing book quotes with my book club legal?
TextMuncher captures visible Kindle pages and turns the screenshots into text with OCR; it does not decrypt ebook files. Short quotes used to discuss a book can qualify as fair use in the US, but sharing full chapters or a substitute for buying the book raises different concerns; the outcome depends on the purpose, work, amount, market effect, and jurisdiction, and this is not legal advice. Read our copyright and fair-use guide.
Can my whole book club use this together?
Yes. TextMuncher is per-user, so each member installs the extension on their device. The free tier gives 30 automated pages per month, which covers most book club discussion prep.
Does this work with library books from Libby?
Yes, via the manual path: many book clubs read library books, and you can screenshot Libby's online reader pages and upload them to textmuncher.com for OCR. Automated capture is Kindle Cloud Reader only.
Can I make a discussion guide with AI?
Common workflow: extract a chapter with TextMuncher, paste into Claude or ChatGPT, ask for discussion questions in a book club style, then revise based on what your group cares about. The AI gives you a starting frame, not a finished guide.
Will the extracted text format work in WhatsApp or Discord?
Yes, plain text pastes cleanly into any chat platform. You may want to add quote marks or formatting for clarity, but the text itself is ready to share.
