## Description

EXTRACT TEXT FROM KINDLE BOOKS - HANDS-FREE

Kindle Cloud Reader blocks copy-paste. TextMuncher automates the screenshot workflow so you can use your ebook content with ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI tools.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open your book in Kindle Cloud Reader
2. Click the extension and hit "Start" - TextMuncher captures pages automatically
3. Download your screenshots, then upload to <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/2a3405842c88fbc9e37596d6d08077a16f8c73215b328ca81adfae0a569fb8d3/http%3A//textmuncher.com" rel="nofollow">textmuncher.com</a> for OCR
4. Copy clean, editable text - done

No manual clicking. No page-by-page screenshots. Just start it and walk away.
