Post Wikipedia now offers Print-On-Demand books YOU create!!
This is so effin' cool that I can't even begin to get my head around it. Watch the video - it goes into great detail on how to create a book.

I'm already thinking...I can finally have a collection of henshin / tokusatsu references along with kaiju movies and more! oh man, then move on to comic book characters, star wars references, etc.

very cool. I'd consider doing the output to some e-reader version since I just got a Nook :D

I've never felt 100% confident with Wikipedia... Not even 80%. But it's certainly a good idea and they are always trying to improve so, please do share when you get your book!

I thought that was not possible any more. I tried to correct one once and it wouldn't let me.

One thing that I did yesterday was create books via PDF which were free. Worked like a stinking charm! I now have a 400 page tome that has info on anything and everything Kamen Rider, Ultraman, Tokusatsu and Super Sentai.

Today will be Star Wars!

The one thing that was a bit of a drag, though, was no linking carried over to the PDF, so once it's in the Nook then I'll have to do a search to find something. Not a big deal but could have been cool.
