So I gave up.

Internally formatted cards must remain in the device, otherwise the content is gone.
That's why I like the tray solution because it is difficult to remove.

This zim format - perhaps it can be unpacked and then used, or better - then re-compressed into multiple files. A software to read it could be written.

You can split this file into as many parts as you like, but all 38 GB must be available internally at the same time for Kiwix to work - and this for example. 19 * 2GB (38 GB) files don't fit into the 23 GB of the Alita

Anyway, if wikipedia reading is not integrated with a book reading software to provide one click lookup - then I don't see any point in having it on an e-reader.

I differentiate between work and leisure equipment.
I want to read on an ereader (leisure device) and I don't need space-wasting nonsense like dictionaries or encyclopedias. I have installed Golden Dict on my Tolino Epos 2, but have only called it twice for test reasons. If space is tight, I'll remove this nonsense.
The Likebook devices are work devices for me and I find sources of information on them not impractical. Before I got the Boox Note Air I thought that a lot of memory was necessary - now I use it with my Likebook Ares and find the division of work / information between two devices much more practical.

I have hundreds of dictionaries/encyclopedias already, and they are integrated with book reading. To me, an e-reader is for reading books, and all the other software on it should be integrated to the reading software and accessible from the book pages.
|
I don't want to be interrupted by book pages - it disrupts the flow of my reading.
Therefore, I do not use any other sources of information such as dictionaries or encyclopedias when reading.
And if something really interests me so much that I really want to check it out, I just take another device - Likebook Ares - and look there.

But exfat sd cards still should be supported.
Because newer android is supposed to supports exfat, perhaps 8.1 already supports them?

ExFAT works wonderfully where it makes sense - on USB OTG.
In my opinion, only the system-internal file format should be used in the tray,
- because it is difficult to get there and
- frequent use destroys this filigree construction.
Boyue complies with the stupid wishes of some users and enables Fat32 or NTFS as a portable system.
And to my surprise, I read that ExFAT could also work in ByRead-V3.0.3 in the Likebook Ares.
