      This is valid bash too. (If you don't know, you're probably running bash.)

  Is there a kindle friendly version?
  • abrown28 10y ago
    Look on the right side of the above links

    It was hard to find so thought I'd share. First go to the full-screen page, then click the "about this book" icon ("i" within a circle). There are links to the following: PDF Plain Text DAISY ePub Send to Kindle

    Based on the "Full Text", it looks like they used an automatic OCR to obtain the text from the PDFs, so they are full of many spelling and formatting mistakes. I prefer to get the B/W pdf and split it into files that are small enough not to lag on the Kindle hardware (I have the 2nd generation).
