Ask HN/PG: Any interest in a Kindle (mobi) compilation of PG's essays?

2 pointsbrandoncor14y ago2 comments

I'm going on a long vacation without a laptop and probably no internet connection.

For quite some time I've wanted to consume every single PG essay, so I wrote a script to compile them all into one clean Kindle (mobi) e-book with a table of contents, chapters, navigation, etc.

Would anyone be interested in this?

More importantly, PG: are you ok with me giving this out? I know you like to have analytics on each of the essays, so I would understand if you're opposed to the idea.

A few months ago, someone already compiled these essays in a mobi and epub format. The essays are available on github: https://github.com/davidyang/Paul-Graham-s-Essays-Epub

Don't know if pg is fine with this or not, but it's nice to read them on your Kindle.

Thanks for the link. That would have saved me a few hours. However, I'll try that .mobi out and see if I'm able to navigate using the Kindle joystick. Navigation was a bit of pain to add, so it might be worth it to release mine if theirs doesn't have it.
