Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) for Kindle

Posted on 11. Sep, 2009 by jhuckabee in books, downloads, free, kindle, programming, sicp

I just started reading the SICP book (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, by Abelson, Sussman, and Sussman) which MIT Press has so graciously made available on their website. I'm not very fond of sitting in front of a computer screen to read books, so I mirrored their copy locally and converted it into a prc file (using Mobipocket Creator) so I could read it on my Kindle.

Here it is for anyone else who wants to save a bit of time.

I've got this book in hardcover and was just wishing I could get it in a kindle compatible format when I found your page. Thanks for sharing your conversion.

Thanks a lot for that, even though the post is old. The hardcover book is a bit annoying to carry around and reading the online version becomes tiresome. This is ideal.

Much appreciated.

Thank you

Thank you for making this available Josh. Even though the PDF is available, having a .prc (or a .mobi) is an awesome thing for the kindle
