No, I don't think so. (What is a reasonable size, anyway?)
OK, you can use a better compression method (7z for example), but you will get only few extra %.(And opening the file would be longer and complicated.)
Or you can remove some articles. But which articles to remove and which to leave? This must be done manually and there are millions of them. (If you are interested, look here:

But this is not what I want. First, there must be a WAY to to open wiki on PRS reader or to convert this huge xml to some readable format. Some kind of framework. Than everybody should decide if he wants some basic wiki with few most important articles (few MBs), the complete one (5,7GB... well, if you are really into this, 8GB memory cards aren't THAT expensive).
