I was traveling around the world for the last 8 months and now that I'm back I finally got to hack together the one thing I was missing during my travels... an offline wikipedia browser for the Iliad.
It's still quite quirky, but working. It's quite easy to install the "Simple English Wikipedia" on your flash card in less than 100MB, but the full one is a little bit tricky at 4GB.
I hope you guys enjoy it.
The project is hosted at:

And here is the page to get you started:

I've made an easy install package for this Wikipedia port.
I'm not a fan of Dillo, so I've included Midori as well. I've also created an html document with a link so that it can be browsed with the iLiad's html viewer. I've had mixed results with this, but it can be nicer than the 3rd party web browsers sometimes.

You can find the all in one installer here: http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...edia.0.1.1.zip
To Install, simply unzip the folder and copy to your iLiad's memory card or USB drive. It will use about 140MB, so it won't fit on internal memory. This should be able to run from any location.

Edit 2: Yokos has updated the all in one package with the following changes:
- fixed sh scripts [line feed encoding]
- ./xset +fp $scriptdir/fonts/TTF [dillo]
- international version of dillo [öäüß etc.]
- dillo home/start up page with hyperlinks to Offline Wikipedia and some sites
- missing icon of "stopping wikipedia server"
Please
re-download if you were having problems with the original.
