Wikipedia adds free eBook export option to site

Wikimedia, the company behind Wikipedia, has added a new export option to its site that allows you to save content in EPUB format, essentially enabling off-site reading to be performed on a number of eBook readers, including Amazon's Kindle devices.

The resource site has offered an option for signed-in Wikipedia visitors to collate their favoured articles into book form for a while, but this is the first time that that self-made tome (content specific encyclopedia, if you like) can be published into an eBook format.
