I’m currently in rehab and I thought of an idea. I was thinking what if there was a website where you can read your favorite books, preferably ones that could use some really cool art work, that don’t have art work in the book. Iike a fan service that say, every super cool descriptive page or a bad ass battle and your scrolling through the pages and then BAM! A super cool drawing of what the artist is describing. I guess what you can do is google image everytime to if there’s fan art about whatever book and page your reading. But it would be nice if it was on the same site. In the hab, there’s not many cool books and I just to make detoxing fun and get into something fantasy or sci-fi western… etc. Sorry for the poor grammar or if this even makes sense because I’m detoxing pretty hard right now. BUT THAT WOULD BE RAD!!.
TLDR: I wish there was a device ( Cellphone or PC) where you can scroll through the pages and then they’re would be some sick fan art of the what the artistist description is so dumbasses like me can get a more clear visual image because when I read, it takes me again and again to visualize.

That would be cool! Like if the author did a rough sketch or hired an illustrator and then put a little QR code at the bottom of certain pages and the reader could scan the code and be taken to an image of a character or setting or map on the author’s website. Would be great for fantasy books!
I just looked up Brandon Sanderson’s website online (well known fantasy writer, in case you didn’t know) and he does have a lot of artwork and maps and sketches on his site relating to his different books. When I was reading The Wheel of Time, there is a wiki on fandom.com where you can get a lot of information and images. So there are options out there, you just need to hunt for them a little online.
I know AI gets hated a lot but if it’s just for personal use, you could ask AI to generate an image based on the description of the scene in the book.
