Thanks for sharing!

In case anyone knows, what's the best way to get this to be readable on an e-reader? Haven't found a PDF yet, probably exporting into a PDF is the easiest since it's only a couple dozen pages maybe?!



Save as HTML with images and run through Calibre:

  $ ebook-convert index.html book.epub
Here are the files if you trust a rando on the internet. Since they're just ZIP archives, you can unpack and inspect both to make sure there's no JS there. .mobi looks fine on my Kindle.

A comment when an upvote would do - this is the kind of small act of generosity that I wish to acknowledge and praise in prose - thank you for taking the couple of minutes to do this. I've been feeling a little bleak about the internet lately as the SNR plummets in the tidal wave of AI seo search results, AI comments, etc. Thank you for taking the trouble. I went to EMFCamp in the UK a couple of weeks ago and had a similar resurgence in enthusiasm about simple things like asking a question of someone and getting an above-and-beyond, going-out-of-their-way response to share their enthusiasm and knowledge about something with you. We must defend these pockets of human interaction. [brought to you after a boozy work lunch but the sentiment is genuine].


A bit meta, but your response is part of boosting that SNR, in the best way possible.

We already saw the front-page discussion about "slop", but we don't have to let it wash over all of us, all of the time. Thank you (and GP) for doing your part!


> if you trust a rando on the internet

Why did you say that, now I have to check the files :)

Thank you


If you've got a Kobo, Pocket seems to recognize it as an article (it often doesn't) and renders it well enough.

EDIT: Nevermind, Pocket only captures the preface (first four minutes, basically).


MediaWiki2Latex can convert to ePub.
