Ask HN: Can anybody compile all of Paul Graham's essays into a .mobi file?

Someone has done this before. No need to reinvent the wheel in this case!

I have written a tool[1] to backup blogs to pdf, you can use it to save Paul's essays first, and use some other tool[2] to merge those PDFs to one mobi file.

Have a look at pandoc. That's usually my go-to tool when converting file formats. It supports mobi.

I just did this in like 5 minutes in Python. If you send me $5 of bitcoin I'll send you the .mobi

;)

Ha, isn't the BTC transaction fees itself ~$25 nowdays? Oh i guess one could use the lightening network.
