Wikipedia on Nook?

A couple of years ago my friend showed me that he had downloaded all of Wikipedia onto a memory card. He could seach through it using his smart phone without having to go online. Does anyone know if you could do something similar with the nook using the softrooted web browser?

if this is what you're refer to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...abase_download

you need a really huge capacity of micro SD card...

There used to be a "wikipedia lite" app for several smartphones that had a lot, but not all of wikipedia in an offline-searchable format. There was even a small wikipedia device that never made it to market (iirc) using the same data.

english wikipedia is about 100 GB large, nook can support only up to 16 GB cards... for now. I believe that is just a software issue that can be extended with an update.
