Sell an e-book made of Wikipedia sources?

I am planning to make an app (pocketbook) of Intro. To Psychology. It will contain definitions and things like that directly from Wikipedia. Off course it will be mentioned that it's from Wikipedia and the references will also be included. Is it legal? If yes, what are the limitations? Thanks.

Update:

The app will be uploaded to the Apple App Store not a torrent site. The information at Wikipedia is open, I don't know exactly under which license it falls.

    You need to get permission from Wikipedia. Some companies like to give permission, some companies don't. I don't know what Wikipedia does, but it's all up to them. If they say no then you can't use it.
