Show HN: Coffeetable, A new UX to discover books inside Claude

People already come to Claude before buying a book. They ask what to read, whether a book is worth starting etc. With coffeetable installed(a claude connector) Claude can now bring you few pages right inside the chat. What better way to decide you like a book than actually read a few pages Also I recommend everyone ask Claude. "Based on everything you know about me, what are some books I must read"

bro how is this different from just asking Claude? Isn't it the same thing?

pretty cool

devel12

so this is essentially a workaround for copyright guardrails?

really cool..

steve_aldrin

very cool, how do you bypass copyright? and what happens if it’s a recently released book?
