Is there a maybe ebook friendly version? I'd love to read this in the kindle

Can’t you send PDFs to a Kindle? Been a decade since I used one, but I vaguely remember that being a thing.

Yes you can, but it's not the best format to read on, and a PDF with 2 columns is kind of even harder to read.

Pdfs are perfect on the kindle scribe, so long as they are not color. This is my primary use for the device. On smaller kindles, pdfs are probably a pain to read though.

The ebook has a Github repo, here:

https://github.com/mrkline/concurrency-primer

You can fork/clone/download the repo and then convert the ebook into Kindle or epub with Pandoc, like so (this is what I run):

pandoc -o concurrency-primer.epub concurrency-primer.tex

(I can share my converted file, but I don't know which file-sharing service is permitted on HN. If anyone can give me suggestions on this, I will be happy to upload it and share my epub file.)

Thanks, yes, I ended up doing the same!
