After I crawled all the essays, I have done the following works:

• Design book cover
• Convert webpage encoding from cp1252 to utf-8 to prevent garbled characters
• Added three chapters: Favorite, Hackers and Painters, Latest
• Group essays alphabetically
• Add a few articles that are not original written by the author but are on the author's website(Richard Hamming, Donald E. Knuth...)
• Correct several punctuation mistakes (dashes and quotation marks) in the essays
• Delete 2 broken links, remove 1 obsolete essay with too short content
• Fix some unmatched tags in web pages to prevent text overflow on Kindles

If you are familiar with python and html, then you can add or remove essays/chapters easily! First, editing calibre.recipe or index.html, then follow the following steps:

git clone https://github.com/evmn/Paul-Graham.git
cd Paul-Graham
python -m http.server 8000

Debug your recipe with the following command:

ebook-convert calibre.recipe .mobi --test -vv --debug-pipeline debug

You can choose from Calibre and command line.

Open Calibre, right click Fetch news, then choose Add or edit a custom news source, click New recipe, then Switch to advanced mode and paste your recipe there, then click Save and choose Download this recipe. It takes less than a minute to make a Kindle books with local server.
