Lightbulb Wikitravel and Wikipedia

Hi!

After spending the last days reading this forum I'm on the verge of buying a PB360. As I mainly want the PB360 for traveling I still want to know if somebody has been able to load a complete wikitravel and wikipedia set for offline use.

For Wikitravel there is an offline version called OxygenGuide (http://code.google.com/p/oxygenguide/) I used in my Android device. OxygenGuide is a static HTML version of wikitravel without images. I think the PB360 has no HTML browser so even if I'm able to render the HTML pages, the hyperlinks will not work. Is this true? In this case I can always convert the HTML to .mobi. This is what the people do to have the guide on the Kindle (http://code.google.com/p/oxygenguide/wiki/Kindle). Does the PB360 open and render this file without problems?

For Wikipedia is more difficult. I would like to have a complete offline English wikipedia on the PB360 but I think nobody has done it yet.
- Does the hardware supports opening MASSIVE electronic books? The english wikipedia needs around 7GB so the epub will probably be too big.
- I use AARD to read the offline wikipedia on my netbook. Is it a port of http://aarddict.org/ planned or possible?

I hope you guys can help me with this issues!
Best regards,
David
