Wikipedia => Kindle
A useful service I just stumbled upon:

http://www.edukindle.com/downloads/kindlepedia/

You enter the URL of any (English) Wikipedia page. You get back a file in mobi format containing the article in question, which you can then transfer to your Kindle.

Based on the couple of articles I've obtained so far, the formatting is immaculate.

Of course, those of you who are in Whispernet range can already access Wikipedia in your web browser. But for the rest of us, this could be a useful innovation.
