Update 2015-03-21: I would now strongly recommend reading Rationality: From AI to Zombies over this. Though the blog posts I collected here are the starting point for that book, considerable work has gone into selecting and arranging the essays as well as adding thoughtful new material and useful material not in this collection. Only if you've already read that should you consider starting on this; you can always skip the essays you've already read.
This is all Eliezer's posts to Less Wrong up to the end of 2010 as an EPub. Can be read with Aldiko and other eBook readers, though you might have to jump through some hoops on the Kindle (haven't tried it). I shared it privately with a few friends in the past, but I thought it might be more generally useful. Highlights include that all the screwed-up Unicode is fixed AFAIK.
For anyone interested, I have used a machine learning algorithm to generate short summaries of all but six of the Yudkowsky posts collected in this ePub. You can find them at the following link:
Pull requests for corrections where the algorithm wasn't accurate are welcome.
This may be useful for people like me who feel the need to get caught up on LessWrong background, but are short on time. Others may like to skim the summaries as a way to identify posts on topics that interest them enough to go find the original and read it in full. I do hope it lowers barriers to participation in the discussion.
