Why do you want that?
It seems like that would only be an advantage if you read really, really fast and practically non-stop, or you don't have a computer with internet access.
I download to my Sony Reader via a USB cable from my PC. There is no difficulty, in fact, my problem is that I acquire good stuff to read at a faster rate than I read. And I'm sure that finding books with my browser on a PC is a better experience than trying to browse on the small screen--especially if I were limited to one company. I like to scan multiple web sites.

git-instaweb
GIT-INSTAWEB(1) Git Manual GIT-INSTAWEB(1)
NAME
git-instaweb - Instantly browse your working repository in gitweb
SYNOPSIS
git instaweb [--local] [--httpd=<httpd>] [--port=<port>]
[--browser=<browser>]
git instaweb [--start] [--stop] [--restart]
DESCRIPTION
A simple script to set up gitweb and a web server for browsing the local repository.
OPTIONS
-l, --local
Only bind the web server to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
-d, --httpd
The HTTP daemon command-line that will be executed. Command-line options may be specified here, and the configuration file will be
added at the end of the command-line. Currently apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup and webrick are supported. (Default: lighttpd)
-m, --module-path
The module path (only needed if httpd is Apache). (Default: /usr/lib/apache2/modules)
-p, --port
The port number to bind the httpd to. (Default: 1234)
-b, --browser
The web browser that should be used to view the gitweb page. This will be passed to the git web--browse helper script along with the
URL of the gitweb instance. See git-web--browse(1) for more information about this. If the script fails, the URL will be printed to
stdout.
start, --start
Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.
stop, --stop
Stop the httpd instance and exit. This does not generate any of the configuration files for spawning a new instance, nor does it close
the browser.
restart, --restart
Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.
CONFIGURATION
You may specify configuration in your .git/config
[instaweb]
local = true
httpd = apache2 -f
port = 4321
browser = konqueror
modulePath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules
If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for
more information about this.
