Maxwell Institute (formerly FARMS) Publications on Kindle

Some friends recently recommended "Lehi in the Desert" and I wanted to read it, but it's not available for Kindle.  

I spent some time researching my options and lo and behold, I found it on the Maxwell Institute (formerly FARMS) website in full glory.  

Lehi in the Desert


Wow, that opens up some options!

And then I Instapapered sections 4-9 and followed the Wired tricks.  Now when I open it on Kindle, Instapaper created some sweet layout and I can read all those chapters on my Kindle for free!

By the way, the book is great - I loved reading Hugh Nibley's scholarly insights into the culture of the people in the time of Lehi.  The second book, The World of the Jaredites is also very interesting.  Unfortunately the third book was pretty dry, but there was a great section on the Book of Abraham that was worth reading.
