Ask HN: Technical-ish books that are readable on Kindle?
I am looking for nonfiction non-historical books that aren’t too dumbed-down/light (essentially, a book that needs careful reading, not something skimmable), but still readable on an e-reader such as Kindle (so equations should be very scarce, and the book should be available in a reflowable format such as EPUB).
Some examples:
* Darwin‘s Dangerous Idea (and other books by Dennett) * Thinking, Fast and Slow * Norton’s Introduction to Philosophy * Lesswrong’s sequences and The Codex (generally, most equation-less Lesswrong posts fit the bill) * Most Programming books (though I prefer a hands-on approach for learning these, which is not possible on an e-reader)
