Feed Any Book to ChatGPT or Claude
The catch: AI needs the text, and ebook readers lock it. TextMuncher extracts clean text from Kindle and other readers so you can feed it to ChatGPT or Claude.

Why Can't You Just Paste Book Text Into AI?
The text is right there on your screen. But it's locked.
Every major ebook platform (Kindle, Libby, Perlego, Chegg, Google Play Books) blocks copy-paste, so you can't move book text into AI directly. TextMuncher bridges the gap with screenshot OCR at 97% accuracy, turning book pages into clean text you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or any AI. Capture is automated on Kindle Cloud Reader; for other readers you screenshot the pages and upload them for the same OCR.
Every Platform Blocks Copy-Paste
Kindle, Libby, Perlego, Chegg - they all restrict copying. No AI tool can help until the text is out.
Screenshots Waste AI Context
Uploading screenshots uses 6x more tokens than clean text for the same content, reducing how much of the book AI can analyze at once.
Manual Transcription Kills the Workflow
Retyping book passages by hand is not a sustainable workflow for any serious research or study.
The Missing Step Between Books and AI
A Path for Every Ebook Reader
Kindle Cloud Reader capture is automated. For Libby, Perlego, Chegg, Google Play Books, Pearson, or Cengage, screenshot the pages and upload them for the same OCR.
Clean Text for Any AI
TextMuncher's output is plain text that works with ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, Copilot, Gemini, NotebookLM - any AI that accepts text.
Automated on Kindle Cloud Reader
On Kindle Cloud Reader, TextMuncher turns pages and runs OCR automatically - start the process and come back to extracted text. Other readers use the manual screenshot upload flow.
How It Works
Three steps. No technical knowledge required.
1. Install TextMuncher
Add the Chrome extension in 10 seconds.
2. Open Your Ebook
Go to Kindle Cloud Reader for automated capture. For Libby, Perlego, or other readers, screenshot the pages yourself.
3. Extract and Feed to AI
TextMuncher captures Kindle pages automatically, or OCRs your uploaded screenshots. Copy the text and paste it into any AI tool.

How do I feed a book to ChatGPT or Claude?
Extract the text first, then paste it in. Install TextMuncher, open the book in Kindle Cloud Reader (or screenshot pages from another reader), and let it OCR the pages into clean text. Copy that text into ChatGPT or Claude, or save it as a file and upload it, then ask your questions.
Can AI read my Kindle book directly?
No. ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools can't open your Kindle library or read Amazon's locked file format, and Kindle blocks copy-paste beyond a small clip limit. You have to get the text out first. TextMuncher does that with screenshot OCR, then the AI reads the plain text you give it.
Which ebook platforms does TextMuncher support?
Automated capture is built and validated for Kindle Cloud Reader. For Libby (OverDrive), Perlego, Chegg, Pearson eText, Cengage MindTap, VitalSource, Google Play Books, and other readers, take screenshots manually and upload them to textmuncher.com for the same 97% OCR.
Which AI tools work with TextMuncher's extracted text?
Any AI that accepts text input: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Grok, NotebookLM, and more. Save the text as a file for tools that support document upload.
How do I get text from a book into AI?
Since every major ebook reader blocks copy-paste, the reliable method is screenshot OCR. TextMuncher captures the book pages and converts them to clean, selectable text at 97% accuracy. From there it's plain text, so you can paste it into any AI tool or save it as a file to upload.
How much of a book can I feed to AI at once?
Depends on the AI's context window: ChatGPT handles ~96,000 words (128K tokens), Claude handles ~150,000 words (200K tokens). Most books fit in one session. For longer works, use chapter-by-chapter extraction.
Can I use TextMuncher with EPUB files I already have?
Yes. TextMuncher also has a web app that processes EPUB file uploads directly - no OCR needed for DRM-free EPUBs, giving higher accuracy than screenshot-based extraction.
What about the accuracy of extracted text?
TextMuncher achieves 97% accuracy on standard book text. AI models handle minor OCR errors gracefully. For research citations, spot-check key quotes against the original.
