Wikipedia
There is a free (german) version of Wikipedia available in Mobipocket format (--> http://www.beam-bibliothek.de/ebook.php?id=144).
I wish we could also have the Wikipedia for iSilo! |

That's a nice link, but unfortunately download is not possible right now (looks like they had a bit of a traffic problem)
Checkmate, any way you can make it available for download? |

We did look into this (read this thread), but looks a bit daunting to pull off, not to mention that a user would have to have a very large ms or sd to even hold it. Cheers, |

Well, size seems to be OK... the MobiPocket version of Wikipedia is between 40-50Mb. If I could only download it...

Thanks for your replies,
gvtexas: why do you think it would get so big in iSilo format? The guys at beam-bibliothek.de managed to shrink it to about 40meg in Mobi-format. That's o.k. There is also a TombRaider version of the full english wikipedia (and several other languages) which fits on a 128mb MS (--> http://members.chello.nl/epzachte/Wikipedia). But I don't like having a different reader for each purpose. Up to now iSilo could cover almost everything except DRM protected books and a good encylopedia. TadW: sorry, I can not provide a download. You'll have to wait until they recover ... |

The german version of the wikipedia is considerably smaller than the english one. When you compare the TomeRaider files it's about 15meg for german and the English Wikipedia comes in 6 chunks of that size.
Compared to this figures the german Mobi version is big (~40mb) and it does not contain pictures ?! |
