Tip: Reading LW on the Kindle

I just discovered an easy way of reading Less Wrong (and other web content) on the Kindle, and I thought others might also find this useful. I am sharing this as a discussion post rather than as a comment in an open thread in order to reach a larger audience, because this answers a need I've had for a long time (wanting a convenient way to read more on my Kindle and less on my computer monitor) that I suspect quite a few other LW readers also have. Moderators/admins: please delete this if it seems inappropriate for even the discussion section.

The free Readability Firefox Plugin adds a 'Send to Kindle' button to Firefox, which when clicked, sends the web page in a highly readable format (stripped of header, footer, and margin text, ads, etc.) to your Kindle (for free delivery via Wi-Fi or USB). You just have to change your kindle settings to accept email from kindle@readability.com, and tell the plugin your kindle address (e.g., yourusername@free.kindle.com).

On a related note, there are also epub and mobi files available for some of the sequences.

If you use Chrome, Send to Kindle and Kindle It look like good alternatives.

Has anyone found a good way to include comments to a LW post on the Kindle? Most read-it-later sites strip out the comments, which is normally a good idea for most sites, but not necessarily so in this case.
