THE HOME OF SOCIAL TV

You can now print books using Wikipedia content

Posted by Steve Safran on May 7, 2010

This is the coolest. Wikipedia has enabled a great new feature that lets you collect all the content you want from the site and publish it as a book. The example given is for a travel guide – say you’re traveling somewhere and want all the articles related to your destination. Within Wikipedia, there is a “Book Creator” feature now that easily enables you to collect the articles you want. It keeps track, and when you’re ready to publish, it sends you to Pediapress, its official partner. The book renders and you can make all sorts of adjustments to your liking. The price is right – less than $9 for 100 pages. There’s a social aspect, too – you can share your newly-minted collection with friends, who can also buy it. Check out the demo video at Mashable.
