Why can't I read or bookmark a huge text file? I can and have. Books3 (though this is the first time I'm hearing of it) shouldn't be fair use because it's inconvenient to read, it should be fair use because reading is not the intent. The intent is to train computers with it.

Well, yes, otherwise you wouldn't need fair use, you'd just use it.
