Why Sharing Book Quotes Is Harder Than It Should Be
Every ebook platform blocks copy-paste. Your audience deserves the actual words, not your approximation of them.
Kindle Blocks Every Quote
You highlight a passage you want to share — then realize you can't copy it. Every platform blocks text selection.
Typing Quotes by Hand Kills Flow
Manually retyping passages is slow, error-prone, and interrupts your creative process.
Can't Find Quotes After Reading
You remember a great line but can't locate it. Scrolling through hundreds of pages wastes hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to quote books in blog posts and social media?
TextMuncher captures visible Kindle pages and turns the screenshots into text with OCR; it does not decrypt ebook files. Short attributed quotes for commentary or review can qualify as fair use in the US, but whether a blog post or social-media graphic qualifies depends on its purpose, the work, the amount used, the market effect, and the jurisdiction; not legal advice. Read our copyright and fair-use guide.
How do I find a specific quote in the extracted text?
Copy the extracted text into any text editor (Google Docs, Notion, Word). Use Ctrl+F to search for keywords or phrases. TextMuncher processes chapters sequentially, so you can target specific sections.
Does this work with library books?
TextMuncher's hands-free capture is built for Kindle Cloud Reader. For Libby and other browser-based readers, TextMuncher reads screenshots you take and upload to textmuncher.com for OCR. You can still locate quotes, but the capture is manual and you should verify the wording against the source.
Can I use extracted text for Canva quote graphics?
Yes. Use the extracted text to locate the quote, verify it against the source page, then paste the checked wording into Canva.
What about copyright for short quotes?
Brief quotes used for commentary, review, or educational purposes are generally protected under fair use. Don't reproduce entire chapters commercially. When in doubt, use short quotes (a sentence or two) with proper attribution. Read our copyright and fair-use guide.
