About This Edition
InformationPhilosopher.com is one of the most comprehensive philosophy resources on the internet. Created by Bob (Robert O.) Doyle (PhilPeople.org.), Associate of the Harvard Astronomy Department, it covers thousands of articles on free will, consciousness, quantum mechanics, the philosophy of mind, and +500 biographical profiles of philosophers and scientists — all interconnected through +100,000 of internal cross-references.
With this single EPUB file, the entire resource is available on a dedicated e-ink reading device. The ~200 MB EPUB has been tested on a small Kobo Clara Color, which handles the file and its 100,000+ internal cross-links efficiently. Navigation between articles, sections, and biographical entries works as it does on the website — but offline, in a distraction-free reading environment.
The Generator Tool
The EPUB was created with a free, open browser-console JavaScript widget — a self-contained script that runs directly in any modern browser's developer console while visiting informationphilosopher.com. No installation, no account, no server required.
The tool crawls the site's navigation structure, fetches every article, rewrites internal links to work offline, organises content into a hierarchical table of contents, and packages everything into a standards-compliant EPUB 3 file — which your browser then downloads automatically.
Because the tool fetches content directly from the live website, you can generate your own up-to-date edition at any time. The file available for download above was generated with the same tool but may be dated relative to the latest version of the site.
