There's one personal-development blog I like and want to have on my Kindle, so I used a Mac app called SiteSucker to download the whole thing (972 entries), batch-massaged the HTML with TextWrangler to simplify the formatting and make the internal links local, then used Mobipocket Creator to construct a ginormous 5.6 MB .prc file that the Kindle can read. One of these days I'm planning on automating the process so I can update it every month or so, as it soon gets out of date.

So I've done it like that. It's not as convenient as a folder of HTML files would be if the Kindle could handle that (wouldn't that be awesome?), but it does work.
