Bloggers turned Journalists. Now, Anybody can be an Editor?

Wikipedia now has a feature that allows you to go through the articles, and build your own book. Based around the way users build the website's content, there are no restrictions that content is being illegally stolen. Centered around the demographic that is feeling like a zombie to their smartphones and appreciates the value of hard print versus the glaring light staring back at you, Wikipedia utilizes their user-trusted content to create books around your liking. Though the site consists of nonfiction subjects, they feel the way that pages are linked to related topics makes the process easy to customize your book. PediaPress, the publisher for Wikipedia then estimates how long the book will be to generate a price. You can even customize your own cover page with picture and color, and have it shipped to your address within two business days. E-books, kindles, nooks seem to be the new trend, but is Wikipedia's target audience large/strong enough?
