I have read the entire series and also have read his Safehold series (all to date), and, unfortunately, the info dump seems to be a Weber trademark. If you think the HH series is bad in that regard, the Safehold series is far, far worse.
Having said that, I found the HH series quite good. In fact, I had never read anything by Weber before the HH series (which I read just a couple of years ago), but it caused me to become a fan. (The Safehold series is straining that, however.) I personally think it is worth struggling through the info dumps. I simply start skimming them when they get overbearing.
Does it get better after HH #9? Not really. In some of the books the dumps become shorter but they never seem to go away. Again, I think the stories are good enough to warrant struggling through the info dumps, but I can understand the impatience with them.
