Summarize a book

Get a one-page summary or chapter-by-chapter notes from a book's own text, with the cost shown first.

Summaries are written from the book's text, read from its EPUB or PDF through Calibre.

Before you start

  • Calibre's Content Server is on.
  • Model Hub has a provider.

A one-page summary

  1. Open the book's note.
  2. Run Books & Shelves: Summarize this book (one page).
  3. Read the estimate, then confirm.

A book too long for the model is digested chapter by chapter first, then summarized.

To do a whole shelf, open the shelf and run Summarize the books on this shelf.

Chapter notes

Run Books & Shelves: Write chapter notes for this book. Each chapter gets its own notes. A quote is kept only when it is found word for word in the book.

What to know

  • There is an estimate before every run.
  • A call billed well above its listed price stops the run.
  • Undo puts an earlier summary back.
