Despite the rise of eBooks and digitized printed media, some people still prefer the look and feel of printed paper.   To cater to these technological hold-outs, PediaPress has developed a novel (pun definitely intended) online tool to create and print books filled with Wikipedia content.  Unlike the portable WikiReader, which stuffs millions of the most popular Wikipedia articles into a small-screen handheld device with monochrome screen, PediaPress is targeting those who value both the depth and breadth of personally compiled physical reference content – even if that content is generated by questionable sources.

These paperback books, which measure 8.5″ x 5.5″, cost just $8.90 for the first 100 pages.   Users can select any topic from Wikipedia and include any related subtopics desired, with which the software develops an organized book complete with pictures, headings, an index, and table of contents.   And while paying to print freely available online content might not seem like the best use of resources, it’s not like you’re printing tweets or worse, the whole Internet.  Check out the video below.
