Actually the book summary idea is excellent especially if paired with Google's NotebookLM.

Here is what I did (manually, of course):
1. Used Calibre to convert a sample of books to PDF format
2. Used NotebookLM to upload the PDF (one book at a time and separately because NotebookLM is able to take multiple PDFs and answer questions on the "collecion")
3. Tried different questions to see what works best:
3.1 You can ask it to "Summarize the content"
3.2 Ask it to describe the main points
3.3 Ask it to list the main points and counterpoints

I actually found that all of these produced very valuable results. If someone can create a plugin I'd suggest that different summary types would be possible to create and save concurrently.

IMHO this would make Calibre very useful for different study projects.
