Wikipedia features: html page to EPUB to read on ebook?


Hello,

Some time ago Wikipedia has added a tool that allows to export the wikipedia html article to a PDF file.
You have to wait few secs, and *magic* there is a link to retrieve the PDF. It is pretty nice.

However, when or how could we get an EPUB ?

Best regards
X.

That would be best answered by Wikipedia Foundations.

If, by chance, you mean offline conversion of the pdf after retrieval, both Calibre and LibreOffice may work.
