Tue Sep 25, 2012 8:20 pm

This link to Wikipedia allows you to collect data from different pages and make an eBook.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... =Main+Page
or
Wikipedia => Toolbox => Special pages => Page tools => Book

1. On each page use, "Add this page to your book".

2. When your done hit, "Show book".

3. Title your book, choose from PDF, OpenDocument, OpenZIM, EPUB.

4. I chose EPUB and got a nice TOC as well.

TIP: If your using calibre as your eBook manager check out the Wiki Reader plugin which will compile eBooks from Wiki articles.

Very cool. Does the wiki have a book store where everyone's books are listed for everyone to check out?
