I think there are some good ideas there, but some of the points ad the conclusion is not. First, not all books are the same. Even if you limit your case of study to non fiction books. For me (at least, some) books are like a conversation, you listen someone transmitting an idea in a more or less comprehensive way, but not as a bullet point list, but bringing your train of thoughts on those ideas and concepts, pretty much like the conversation we have with ourselves. That is one of its strengths, not defects. You must think like the author, take his point of view, put the knowledge it tries to transmit in the "right" perspective. But is one sided conversation, you are just listening, and while listening, it is just a temporary state of mind not good for placing that new knowledge in your own frame of mind. And it takes time, requires attention, keeping context between pauses in reading, a real world intruding all time and so on. But I think we have already the capability of taking a step forward from there, or at least pretty close to that. If I give an LLM a book (or book collection) to an LLM, could we have a proper conversation with "the author" on what is discussed there? Apply that knowledge to things happening around us and putting examples closer to home? Ask questions and clarifications? Probably there are already a bunch of websites doing exactly that.
