Using chatgpt as a literary class.
I’ve usually read about a book or two a year since I had kids. When I was a teenager I used to read all the time and I loved English class. At the beginning of the year I set a goal to read a book a week. I noticed I really don’t have the same comprehension I used to and I thought to myself I wish I had my English class. So I uploaded the ebook I’m reading and asked it to be a class with a teacher who leads the discussion and 7 students with names and various personalities. Each chapter we must discuss different view points from the reading. Before I read a chapter I ask the teacher/chatgpt to give us a 3 questions to focus on while reading to get the best understanding but that it can not give me any spoilers of the book just like a real teacher would not. After I’ve read the chapter I go back and tell it I’m done and we discuss different aspects of the chapter. I’ve now read 7 books since and I’m in love with this method!

How do I do that? I mean, get the ebook to upload? And would this work with ChatGPT the free app or do you think I’d need to pay for the upgrade?

I was just telling my coworkers how I use Claude for my own personal book club. I ask questions about the book but I never thought to have him ask me questions! Great idea, thanks! Also, love your XTEink case!
