This is amazing; millions of people visit wikipedia every day. Some of them want the content and the only way is to copy from web page and paste on MS-word or any text editor. If the content is available in the form of PDF or a book that can be carried any where or can be read without the worry of internet connection.

I doubt how many people might be using this. After all who has the time to read a hell lot of pages to understand a concept. If I need to understand a concept, I would rather prefer to use http://www.youtube.com or http://www.slideshare.com or http://www.vizedu.com

I wonder about the copyright implications for all the pictures posted to wikipedia. On wikipedia, it may be claimed that the pictures are educational fair use but when printed out in a book by a 3rd party, I’m not so sure. Seems suspect to me.

I’m wondering how much of a “sweet deal” it really is for PediaPress.

When you consider the nature of the deal, you need to take into account that Wikipedia content is licensed under the GDFL, so anyone can already offer a service for printing Wikipedia articles, as long as they make sure to respect the terms of the license. (From what I’ve seen of the PDF generation system, PediaPress has this covered well.)

The main things that PediaPress gets through a formal partnership are a) permission to use the copyrighted and trademarked Wikipedia logo in certain contexts and b) visible links to the service. Wikimedia gets 10% of revenues and open-source wiki-article-to-PDF software (which is nothing to sniff at, when you consider the intricacies of wiki syntax). It’s to be noted that 10% of *revenues* is much different from 10% of *profits*.

If you ask me, it seems like a relatively fair deal as long as it’s not an exclusive one.
