How can one obtain more accurate numerical approximations to an integral involving the floor function in Wolfram Alpha?

After reading sections of the following book by Furdui and a page on the AoPS forum, I got interested in the integral

                                                                  enter image description here

Let's denote the value of this integral by A. Then we have that the value to 20 digits approximately comes down to:

A = 0.6449340668482264365

However, when one puts in the code

integrate 1/(floor(1/x)) from x=0 to 1 to 20 digits

In Wolfram Alpha, it generates the following approximation:

A* = 0.64493701331278272222

As one can see, the numbers start to deviate from one another after the seventh digit. So my question is:

Question: how, if at all, can one obtain more accurate numerical approximations to the value of the integral above in Wolfram Alpha?
