Those kinds of negotiations if they haven’t been done by other companies before, they won’t have a process for it already in place. There’d be lots of friction for the first of such deal. Both in lots of legal work and software development to make sure they only get access relevant to the deal made.
It’s not something they can just be like “hey, here’s the FTP URI”. Because these legitimate repositories you speak of, like Amazon I guess, will already have existing deals with publishers. Currently as they stand, these deals may not be compatible with Amazon sharing their IP with other companies. So they will either have to redo those deals or restrict access of specific titles to the likes of Nvidia.

A yes, of course, the legal challenges of selling a copy of a book that is already for sale 🙄🙄🙄
Yeah the existing deal with publishers is “sell my book” dummy.

The development work I mentioned it you actually read it was about ensuring that specific access is given at the scale in which they need.
Plus the legal challenge is not about the singular copies of books but for it to be in a state that is suitable for the ingestion of data which would likely mean giving them specifically DRM free versions which I imagine some book publishers would scowl at.

Move those goalposts! Yeah I guess they’re only option is to pirate the books then, it’s not like NVIDIA has access to OCR or anything 🙄
