The docs really are great. I once downloaded the whole lot as a PDF and read it from the beginning on my phone during downtime (like 15 mins on the train). Read all the way through to the parts that discuss internals then stopped. I now appreciate it as a relational database, not just as a storage backend.

Great idea, you've inspired me to do the same just now. I've been using PostgreSQL since ~2000 and love it, but I'm still finding new little corners of the docs worth reading.

If anyone else wants to do this and has Calibre installed, the commandline ebook-convert utility does a decent job. Change to the postgresql docs directory and then run

  ebook-convert html/index.html postgresql_docs.mobi --authors="Postgresql" --title="Postgresql 9.2 Documentation"

(or substitute postgresql_docs.epub). There are a lot of tweaks that'd make it better, but it's readable and properly handles the code font, etc. If you want much more than that using the Calibre gui might be a good idea. Biggest issue I'm seeing is that "Up" links & such are broken, so I'm working on that now.
