Kinda defeats the purpose of trying for me if I can't open it with my PRS-T1.
But you can either:

1) select only the articles you want to read and bundle them into a single EPUB file (like Wikipedia allows) or

2) split the entire encyclopedia in multiple EPUB files.

I do not have my T1 with me, but my Kobo Glo has just accepted an EPUB of size 5 MB, with a subset of the articles. <10 such chuncks should be enough for the whole SEoP. Clearly you loose the chance of clicking internal links if you are on an A-article and you want to jump to a Z-article, but you gain the possibility of reading it on e-ink, which is still very nice.

Actually, I was thinking of writing an email to the SEoP guys, asking whether they could provide an "official" EPUB file (or multiple chunks). I always find odd that universities/foundations put data online, without protection from screenscraping, but they do not provide access to the raw data nor produce reasonable output formats --- unlike advertise-based sites, they do not gain anything from having people visiting their Web pages.
