Ebooks of “The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs”
There are no official ebooks of SICP, but there are a few unofficial ebook conversions from the free web version. Here are the two best versions I’ve found:
-
Ian Eure’s epub version, for iBooks and various other non-Kindle readers. You used to be able to download the epub directly from that repo, but GitHub has discontinued download hosting. This direct download link (thanks, Michael Tsai) should work for awhile.
In anticipation of the GitHub download link eventually failing, I’ve made a mirror of the repository on Bitbucket, which still hosts downloads; I’ve uploaded the epub to that repo.
- There are at least a couple of Kindle versions; of which the better is Tim Camper and Jonathan Patt’s mobipocket version. The mobi file is actually versioned in the repo, so you can download it straight from there.

There’s a nicely formatted PDF on this repo: https://github.com/sarabander/sicp-pdf
From the README: A PDF version of “Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs” (SICP) by Abelson, Sussman, and Sussman. Low resolution bitmap images are replaced by vector graphics (SVG) and mathematics is typeset in TeX. Typography and layout are improved for better on-screen legibility. This edition is suitable for medium-sized screens (like 10″ tablets).
