One question: were the de.wp WikiReaders "published" (meaning that they were
done by a commercial entity and sold to the public) or not? Were the en.wp
WikiReaders "published" as well, or were they just handed out at Wikimania?
I ask this because the Version 1.0 Editorial Team is interested in picking
this up and producing commercially available WikiReaders (and several
WikiProjects have announced that they're interested in this: WikiProjects
Military History, LGBT studies and Tropical cyclones, off the top of my
head. Military History has actually begun work on this at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:MILPUB . However, remembering the Lulu Press
incident, we want to make sure all our ducks are in a row.

A "wikireader", at least as I've seen it
used in context, is a
collection of Wikipedia articles centered around a specific topic like
Chemistry, Astronomy, or a historical topic like the "Napoleanic Wars".
de.wikipedia has been doing this for some time, but it hasn't been done
in any other languages, including English.
It has been done in English. One about Frankfurt was given out at the
first Wikimania.
