I’ve had success turning texts in various formats into EPUB files using Calibre.
ETA: Tried Calibre for making an ebook of the scrapings. Downloaded each sequence file, plus the index html, into the same directory. Modified index to point to local files instead of fully qualified URLs. Pointed Calibre at the index file, and it slurped the actual sequence files nicely. Resulting epub looks fine, corresponds to a 1300 page physical book and includes the inline images.

Made a script to do this.
Install the prerequisites:
apt-get install wget calibre tidy, or whatever works on your favorite OS.Then do
#!/bin/bash
TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d)
pushd $TMPDIR
wget -H -np -nd -k -p -r -l 1 http://pwnee.com/Sequences/list.html
tidy -m *.html
ebook-convert list.html lesswrong.epub
popd
cp $TMPDIR/lesswrong.epub .
