Any help on how to get this on to the kindle. I've cloned the repo but I'm not sure how to transfer it to my kindle.

It's a .mobi file. You can transfer it to kindle in either of the 2 ways. 1) Connect your Kindle to computer and copy the book to documents folder in your Kindle. 2) Send the .mobi file as an attachment in email to your Kindle specific email id. For incurring no charges, use the free.kindle.com id. Once you connect to Wi-fi next time, book will be transferred to your Kindle over the air.

Plug it into USB, drag it into the Documents folder once the Kindle comes up as a volume on your machine.

The .mobi file is a Kindle document. Either plug your Kindle into your computer (it works just like a USB drive) and drop the .mobi into the documents folder, or send it as an attachment to your Kindle's email address. (You can find your Kindle's address here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/manage/#manageDevices https://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/manage/#manageDevice...)

I believe the sicp.mobi file is the one you are looking for. Download it, and copy it to the documents folder on your kindle, when you've attached it to a computer.

It looks like, though, that the sicp.mobi file is from the original repo (revision date of Jan 10) and the fork that this post points to includes a series of improvements to the text (revision date of Sept 18) that the .mobi hasn't been updated to take advantage of. Thus, it looks like the .mobi needs to be recompiled to include the improvements that @jonathanpatt has committed. There is also a pull request on the original repo that should likely be included in any revision, too: https://github.com/twcamper/sicp-kindle/pull/5 https://github.com/twcamper/sicp-kindle/pull/5

I uploaded a copy to http://puremango.co.uk/sicp.mobi http://puremango.co.uk/sicp.mobi Which you should be able to download directly from the kindle's web browser. For some reason trying to download it directly from github fails when you try to access it directly from the kindle. Hope that helps.
