READ PIPELINE step 2 — READ. Read a book's text. Call get_book first (step 1) for the chapter list, then come here. Preferred: use the chapter param to read one chapter at a time (includes [Page N] markers for citation). Alternatively, use from/to for explicit page ranges (e.g. from=1 to=50). When you find passages worth quoting, hand the page numbers to get_quote / get_quotes (step 3) for verbatim text + a citation link. TRUNCATION: the response always includes truncated: true/false. When truncated=true, the truncation_note field gives the exact next from/to values to call — this means content was cut short by a page-budget limit, NOT that the book ended. An AI agent MUST NOT infer end-of-book from pages_returned alone; check truncated first. Daily page budgets apply across get_book_text/get_quote/get_quotes: anonymous 500 pages/24h, signed-in 1,000, free Explorer keys 2,000, paid keys uncapped — sign in at sourcelibrary.org/auth/signin or get a key at sourcelibrary.org/developers.
