Random Monday : Wikibooks, WikiType & PDF Wikis
Now The Download Munkey isn’t always all about fun and games, and here’s a good example why 
While almost everyone has used Wikipedia before, but I’m pretty sure not everyone knows about Wikibooks.
Now, Wikibooks, as you can guess from the title is another community project initiated by the Wikimedia Foundation. Quoted from the Wikibooks site:
Wikibooks is a Wikimedia community for creating a free library of educational textbooks that anyone can edit. Wikibooks began on July 10, 2003, since then Wikibooks has grown to include over 29,979 pages in a multitude of textbooks created by volunteers like you!
Been learning a bit of German from the PDF version of the German language Wikibook after following the links from Rich Hoeg’s eContent site - if you’re the type who’s always on the lookout for new repositories of knowledge on the Net, I’m very sure you’ll find plenty of useful resources over at eContent
To browse through Wikibooks, there is a staggeringly long list of all currently available Wikibooks in various stages of completeness but you’ll probably be better off starting with the list of featured Wikibooks (essentially Wikibooks with substantial content) with the list of Wikibooks with PDF versions.

Dont fret if you encounter any Wikibook that isn’t available as a downloadable PDF. A eContent commenter StormBringer introduced the very useful WikiType which works like a charm in formatting any Wikimedia or Wikibook article into a downloadable PDF.
Check out Wikibooks and WikiType.
