Why Can't You Copy Text From Ebooks?
Every ebook platform restricts text access. There's no universal solution — until now.
TextMuncher extracts text from any browser-based ebook reader. The Chrome extension captures pages as screenshots and converts them to text with 97% OCR accuracy. It works with Kindle Cloud Reader, OverDrive, Libby, and any platform that runs in your browser. All processing happens locally — no uploads, no servers.
Every Platform Blocks Copy-Paste
Kindle, OverDrive, Libby, and most library apps all restrict text selection and copying.
No Universal Tool Exists
Each platform has different DRM, so no single file converter works across all of them.
Manual Methods Don't Scale
Screenshotting pages one by one and retyping text takes hours you don't have.
One Tool for Every Ebook Platform
Works With Any Reader
One tool for Kindle, OverDrive, Libby, and every other browser-based ebook platform.
Automated Capture
Set it running and walk away. TextMuncher turns pages and captures text automatically.

Which ebook platforms does TextMuncher support?
TextMuncher works with any ebook platform that runs in your browser: Kindle Cloud Reader, OverDrive, Libby (web version), Google Play Books, Kobo Cloud Reader, and more. If you can see the text on screen in Chrome, TextMuncher can extract it.
Does it work with library ebooks?
Yes. Library ebooks from OverDrive, Libby, and university library platforms work the same as Kindle books. Open the book in your browser and run TextMuncher.
Can I extract text from PDF ebooks?
For PDFs, you can upload them directly to TextMuncher's web app at textmuncher.com for free OCR processing. The browser extension is designed for cloud-based readers that block copy-paste.
How does screenshot OCR compare to DRM removal?
Screenshot OCR works with any platform and can't be blocked by DRM updates. DRM removal tools like Calibre DeDRM only work with specific file formats and broke when Amazon updated their encryption. TextMuncher's approach is more universal and more reliable.
Is the extracted text accurate enough for academic citations?
TextMuncher achieves 97% accuracy on standard book text. For academic use, we recommend spot-checking quotes against the original. Page numbers aren't captured (since cloud readers don't always display them), so you may need to add those manually.
