QWIKI - The portable Encyclopedia
The advantages of Wikipedia compared to paper encyclopaedias are numerous, the most important of which are certainly the constant updating of information, the integrated links for better understanding of the content, and the almost immediate accessibility.
Analysing these advantages, we developed the idea of QWIKI, a portable and updatable encyclopaedia. Thanks to the ring binding, pages can be conveniently reprinted and re-inserted. QWIKI also integrates links into the printed version, using a four-column layout to ensure that they are on the same page as the reference text. The heading on the side indicates the current chapter, facilitating quick navigation. QWIKI has a handy A6, small and compact format that allows it to be taken anywhere, making the information accessible anytime, anywhere.
