I never really thought about this much until just now, but pb, Paperback's command-line based document converter, is a super useful tool for AI agents. Got an ancient .doc or .chm manual you need to reference? No problem! Pb will give you text, markdown, or HTML in seconds.

@TheQuinbox Oh nice!!! That's probably better than an MCP server for PB?

@TheQuinbox Although I think agents can figure it out using whatever they can (heck, even Powershell), yup, it's nice to have to save tokens
