I think the goal of this project is not to simplify the use of Annas Archive for humans (as they could just use the Website anyways), but to allow AI "Agents" to automatically source information out of books while researching without requiring user interaction.
The LLM's default web-browsing tool probably won't or can't download books from AA while looking for information on a subject. This enables it to do so.
Are you sure? From OPs comment:
>I justified the hours I invested by thinking I could search, download, and explore books directly from Claude Desktop.
Although you're right that it can be used for use cases like you're describing.
