I am very unhappy about two things: they sold themselves to Amazon, thus losing their independence. And they did not help Frank Burkhardt, author of mobipocket ports of Wikipedia in several languages, available freely on his site:

Some older files are also available here:
http://www.axelschaefermdb.de/service/wikipedia.html
(I can use the March 2005 version 1.6 in German in my Lbook thanks to the latest Lbook firmware).
Here is the little thing he asked them on their forum:

Because they refused to fix this, all the recent versions of Wikipedia split into several files cannot work on my reader.
My only hope now is Fbreader. There are discussions on their list:

So I gave up on the company, but not on the format and an open source version of the reader.
