Books for your Kindle... #3

My thanks to the Miniature Wargames site [clicky] as I had no idea you could do this and it's brilliant! 

This will allow you to create your own books from Wikipedia content and then download them to your Kindle as a stand alone reading file....  inspired...

• Start by going the Wiki page you're interested in and then find the "print/Export"option in the menu to the left..

• Click “Create a Book” and in the next web age click "Start Book Creator" (the green button).


• Then just navigate to the pages you're interested in and at the top of the page there is an option to add the age to your book..


• You can click on “Show Book” at any time and in the box bottom left it will allow you to delete any pages you no longer want, or even re-order the ages (just click on the page and move it up or down with a drag of the mouse)


• When you've finished you simply select the download file type (the default is PDF for your Kindle as they don't support ePUB, but I use Calibre - see the Kindle library page at the top for where to get this - which has a facility to convert file types as part of the file transfer to the Kindle - very handy..), give it a title (in the two blank boxes to the left), and then click "download" - jobs a good' un..

Now with the proviso that Wikipedia articles are not the last word in historical veracity, I think that' a brilliant way of getting content to allow you to do basic research on a project whilst being away from the internet... nifty idea...
