For a practical example, the Schools Wikipedia is proving enormously
popular with teachers in countries of all economic levels. Requires
something that can read a DVD, or have said DVD dumped onto its hard
disk somehow, and in print it'd be roughly 15 Britannica volumes.

So an encyclopedia is proving wanted in practice. Textbooks would be
fantastic too, of course. But Wikibooks doesn't (AIUI) have a complete
set of those yet.
