Ask HN: Summarising Kindle books in your library

[padheyam]

Any brilliant (legal) ideas to get chatgpt to summarise a book/chapter in my Kindle library?

I've built something that takes chunks of a book, in order, like 2-3 pages, and rewrites them in a more condensed format, like 40-60% of the original. Is this something useful to you?

[padheyam]

That sounds super useful!

[sturza]

Let's give it a go, send me your book and i'll send you back the output. Or title and maybe i can find it online somewhere.
