So I've needed to familiarize myself briefly with a few topics lately and wikipedia is perfect for the job of "the basics" (and please, no arguments about it as a source, etc.)

I have a kindle, so of course I can use the whispernet, but it really kind of bites and Sprint is unreliable where i live. So I'd like to setup some "packets" of wikipedia articles that are in decent condition for use as an ebook.

Now, I can go to print mode, copy+paste, delete a lot, etc. and then send it to my Kindle but it takes a lot of time. I was wondering if there was anything automated or at least a bit streamlined.

It does seem the german version of wikipedia has such a thing. But it's not available for the english version yet.
