This is the problem --
Who is author here ?? Wiki has a large number of authors.
Lets imagine you have internet , access to wikibook and have some
paper. We both are sitting in a room and I am your customer. I select
one book from wikibook.
If taking the printout taken 5 minute and making a billing to the
printed books takes 3 minute. is it possible to complete the process
in 8 minute ??
No, because you need to look for license (even though it has
permission ) and then you need to understand it. May be the whole
books present as set of interlinked wiki pages, in that case you need
to download the all sections and put all at one place then print it.
After that you need to look at the author section too and you need to
put attribution too.
I think "booki" will be the platform where the extra effort will
exactly equal to Zero.
