Since 2008, we've offered a small feature to download printed books from Wikipedia article. This is done in partnership with a company called PediaPress.
They've sold about 15K books over that time period, not enough to break even, and the support/maintenance burden for the service is no longer worth it for them.
We'll disable this feature in coming weeks.
It's a pity, as I liked that service/very much/, it was quick, reliable, perfect quality, not too expensive. The only feature what I missed was the inability to add further PDF pages.
We'd only continue to offer it if there's 1) strong community interest in maintaining it, and 2) a partner who steps up to provide the service.
We'll continue to provide PDF downloads (soon with a new rendering engine).
Thanks, Erik
