Gives Claude the ability to crack open EPUB files and pull out content as clean Markdown. You get metadata extraction, table of contents listing, chapter by chapter reading, full book dumps, and text search with context. The workflow is straightforward: check metadata first, scan the TOC to see what's available, then read specific chapters or search for terms. There's a smart query expansion approach documented for conceptual questions, where you break broad queries into multiple specific search terms and synthesize results. Honestly most useful when you need to analyze or reference ebook content without manually converting files or copying text around.
