Hi, super interested in this topic, for WikiDonne's educational program. We just finished the 2024 course, we have 31 women biographies in *Profili di donne emiliano-romagnole*[1] written by students*. W*e wanted to create a first version of the ebook to be presented in front of school principals, other students and the partners involved, in May.
At the end I download page by page as PDF and united them in an unique file. Needless to say, the formatting is horrible. The last year, for our 3 ebooks we spent more than a week to convert the three pdf in odt, format them and save again as pdf, just to have decent ebooks[2]. Solving the book creation tool inside Italian Wikibooks too would be very helpful.

That's better than nothing, but still not the best solution. The book creator had options to download in odt format, so anyone downloading it could edit the content. That's what teachers actually need, if we want to be the central infrastructure of free knowledge.
Thanks

Hi again, Galder! I just "globalized" the template gadget for downloading PDFs, so now it can be easily installed in the Basque Wikipedia if you feel like it. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Download_PDF for the documentation.
