As a general rule we don't enforce copyright at the point of having an idea, but rather at the point of putting that idea into some sort of medium that can be transmitted to others, and then we enforce copyright at the transmission point. The transmission has concrete, albeit somewhat mutable scarcity.
The characterization that IP law is only intended to spur creative activity is incorrect. It was designed to balance the interests of the creator with those of society. And that balance is off, IP regulation has become a tool for rent seeking.

Interestingly, no Kindle version of The Power Broker is available, although there were reports in 2021 that one was purchasable on Amazon for a very short time [1]. I really dislike handling large books, especially if I'm reading in a casual setting. Because of this, I decided to start reading The Years of Lyndon Johnson series instead, which do have Kindle versions.

Yes, I had the exact same reaction and actually donated a print version of the book to the Internet Archive so they might create a digital ebook. It never materialized and I ended up reading the print version, and found it well worth the physical effort.
I know Unites Airlines used to make its pilot’s atc communications available on “channel 11”, but I think that all stopped post 9/11.
Pretty sure it was channel 9. I used to listen to that all the time.
If it's just a collection of essays, what about a static site? You can set one up on Github Pages or Gitlab Pages with a minimum of coding. There are also virtually no security concerns and maintenance is minimal.
You'd have to take all of the text from the Wordpress blog and format it into Markdown but that shouldn't take a huge amount of time unless there is a lot of weird formatting or different media types.
This is absolutely the easiest solution. We did this for open.media.mit.edu in order to archive the old wordpress site. Used wget to fetch all of the HTML and ran a script over it to remove some obvious clutter. Happy to help out. Your writing really shaped the way I thought about the potential of an open internet.
Since you list other non-open source solutions as well in your question, I’ll mention one more, which might be the closest to what you are looking for > maven.com.
We started collaborating with them right after they launched, and just finished our first course on their platform.
I also wish there was a good open source alternative but the revenue sharing with maven is fair, the team is a joy to work with, and the product is improving rapidly.
