I much prefer paper over digital. I wonder if we can call this Volume I and get it offered as a printable book with simple, but nice formatting? Then, when there's sufficient additions for a new volume, we could publish Volume II and so on.

@joshuapinter Great idea but not sure that's possible without author's permission! :))

@dreamture So you can create an eBook without the author's permission but not a physical book?

@joshuapinter Physical book = $ to produce = $ to sell = money exchanged for somebody else's work. You could always download the epub and print it yourself :)

@balindenberg Makes sense. I'll find an eBook to paper service and post back if it's any good.

@bramk thanks for hunting this!! 🙌 I had this idea for a couple of months now and finally found some time to realize it. pg2epub is a simple web scraper (running each morning) that generates ePub & PDF versions of Paul Graham’s essays. Why I built it? Paul Graham (PG) is very influential in the startup world and his essays are considered classics. Unfortunately they are available only on his website and it isn't possible to read them on ebook device. That's why I created pg2epub. Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
