At least for MobiPocket WIKIPEDIA is already compiled in several sizes with and without pictures. I use a distinct offline version of Wikipedia in my still working PALM TX. It's a version without pictures. Very easy to use and very comfortable for a quick look. It's not a must always having the very latest versions.

There are files available < 2GB. Not that large in my opinion.

For example:

In German and Mobipocket and TomeRaider:

Several languages and file formats, ready to use (sorry, it's a link to the german version of Wikipedia):
