Ask HN: Any great programming books in text file format?

There is a .texi version of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs available here [1]

All of the diagrams have been drawn in ASCII, which is quite cool. It displays well in wordpad and word. Formatting problems in notepad

Thanks! I really appreciate that.

You could always scrape plain text from the PDF files. It might even be better, since I imagine some books in plain text may be outdated. I did have K&R C and SICP in plain text, but I'm not sure where they've gone off to. Good luck though.

I think there are lot of PDF to TXT online converters. You can simply convert the files and send it to them.
