There are other web clippers that would let you aggregate more than one chapter into an .epub file which you could then convert to Kindle format.
You'll also be able to read these documents on a smartphone or tablet running Kindle app. These will let you export any notes you make (Kindles don't let you export notes from 'personal documents'.
You could try using the 'experimental' browser, and I am pretty sure that will work somewhat but it will not be very pleasant.

Excellent, thank you! Amazon's Send to Kindle worked great to take a chapter with me. I'm not really interested in taking the whole book, as it violates the terms of use.
Edited. The below was written when I tried other 3rd party "send to kindle" type of browser extensions:
That got me thinking about another way that worked better, which was the Evernote Web Clipper. It's a similar process but requires two steps to save to Evernote then send to the PPW.
BTW, I could not get Send to Kindle or Send to Reader to work properly. All they would send was the visible part of the chapter on screen (so only about two paragraphs). But the Evernote clipper captured the whole chapter. I think the new O'Reilly Safari is more restrictive and gets in the way for those clippers.
