I really liked that there were HTML versions of the previous two books. Any chance that'll be up for this one? A bit far-fetched but: Have you (or anyone else at Google) looked at Amazon Builder's Library [0] and/or various re:Invent / re:Inforce talks from 2018/19 [1][2] that focus on similar topics as in this book and other SRE books? If so, what are some ideas (infrastructure, blast radius, incident management, resilience, recovery, deployment strategies, crisis management, disaster planning, aftermath etc) you folks think that contrast / complement Google's approach to building hyperscale systems? Thanks.

I'll flag the HTML pages with the team. I'm honestly not sure. I know we're able to offer epub and mobi this time, something not previously possible with the other books. I haven't looked at those other resources, but I'll ask if others have.

  I actually wrote a script to convert the HTML version of the SRE book to epub, and then to mobi; which I then used to read a few chapters on kindle. It was far from perfect, but did the job.

Download the epub version and on the Linux command-line execute `tar -zxvf srs-epub.epub` then cd into unpacked `OEBPS/` folder and there's your HTML files. Not exactly what you are looking for, but you can browse the content in a web browser.

  That doesn't work, unless you have an unusual Linux setup: $ tar -zxvf srs-epub.epub gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now But you can do "unzip srs-epub.epub".

  or right click on Windows and open with 7zip for example

  Wouldn't you rather use unzip instead of tar? Epubs are just zipped HTML trees with a few extra files for the ebook structures.
