Hello, could anybody put all chapters in single HTML file?

You already can load all chapters in PDF, EPUB and MOBI formats of ebook, and there are exist links in main page of hpmor.com , but HTML is also format of ebooks and modern browsers have all eReader's features (like: story page position, marks, notes, user styles, and other...), I can say more - my web browser is my favourite eReader)))

So, please add link to single HTML file with all chapters to front page of hpmor.com .

Thankful in advance, alexqwesa.

You should really email the webmaster (webmaster@hpmor.com) if you want that added to hpmor.com, but if you're impatient, I dumped all the chapters into one file (link may disappear later; I am not volunteering to host a mirror of Methods indefinitely).

(Technical note: EPUBs are really just ZIP archives of HTML files; so converting is as simple as unzipping the EPUB and dumping the chapters into a single file (something like "cat *.html > full_book.html" at a Unix-like command line.)

Oh! I hadn't realised. That makes my audiobook creation potentially more convenient.

I don't think that catting together HTML files results in a valid HTML file.

Of course that probably doesn't matter in practical applications.

EDIT: Confirmed.

And thank you for closing the regretfully unmatched parenthesis in my comment.
