You would learn WAY more from a few minutes doing a Wiki Walk.

I can't say that the rest of the Text Vooks are similarly insubstantial, but I'm very disappointed with the product.
After reading a couple of the history ones, I completely agree. Waste of time. I don't often say this, but the Wikipedia articles are better.

What we need is an app that saves Wikipedia articles in .epub format...
