I take a "just in time" approach to getting Wikipedia on Sony Reader - it's possible to get any web page on to a micro SD or m2 card, using a mobile phone and web2fb2.net & opera mini. It's a bit of a hassle card swapping, but it only takes a half a minute including conversion.

First open the Wikipedia page in opera mini on your phone. Go to bookmark it, but instead then copy the page URL. Paste this in to the web2fb2 page for conversion to epub.

You'll need an SD or Duo adapter of course to put the card in your reader.

Web2fb2 outputs to a epub file with images and formatting included.
