"What I'm really curious about is how to best consume these. I suppose a mailing list would be the norm, but I'd like to see them automatically land in Instapaper or Pocket. I'll have to see if there's a way already." It was a little laborious, but I went through each essay and used dotEPUB (http://dotepub.com/ http://dotepub.com/) to convert it to epub, then transferred to my ereader manually. I considered looking for a more automated solution, before realising that it would take more time looking for a solution than just manually doing it. Similarly for pocket I imagine with the frequency these are coming out it would be easiest to simply manually add each essay to pocket.

here is the script that I use for doing this: https://gist.github.com/ilyakava/47aedca7bc39483d7a94 https://gist.github.com/ilyakava/47aedca7bc39483d7a94 All you have to do is input a txt file of links, in this case: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8PTFJ2x4 http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8PTFJ2x4 Here is the output epub for all to enjoy: http://cl.ly/022V1Y1t2I24 http://cl.ly/022V1Y1t2I24 In cases when I care about formatting/metadata, I might use pandoc to merge all the \d+.html files, regex or edit, and then use pandoc to output *epub
