Since 2008, we've offered a small feature to download printed books
from Wikipedia article. This is done in partnership with a company
called PediaPress.
They've sold about 15K books over that time period, not enough to
break even, and the support/maintenance burden for the service is no
longer worth it for them.
We'll disable this feature in coming weeks.
It's a pity, as I liked that service/very much/, it was quick, reliable,
perfect quality, not too expensive.
The only feature what I missed was the inability to add further PDF pages.
We'd only continue to
offer it if there's 1) strong community interest in maintaining it,
and 2) a partner who steps up to provide the service.
We'll continue to provide PDF downloads (soon with a new rendering engine).
Thanks,
Erik
