Did some digging with the help of some friendly spessmen on the coding discord, turns out books only have a limit because they don't have any means of taking in more than one "page" since you can't add onto them like you can paper.
Seems to me that this is less of a feature and more of an oversight. JJ suggested that in order to add this feature, books might just have to be redone completely since there isn't much to them.
To that effect, I'd be interesting in seeing some kind of machine like a typewriter added for people who want to write books. Or perhaps some software that can be downloaded to laptops and tablets? I think the latter idea is better but idk what kind of work each requires.
In any case, books are so limited they're basically useless furniture or spam tools and that should be changed.
I'd like to see players write their own manuals etc. Maybe instead of going to the wiki, you can head on down to the library and see what other players have to offer.

At least just add the ability to scan multiple pages sequentially.
