Offline wikipedia on pocketbooks
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to get wikipedia on my pocketbook 360. Google gave me some tracks: - http://users.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~tt...iaOffline.html which needs very few work on the dump (just split and index article title) but needs several tools/lib on the reader (python, php, perl, xapian) - aardict but need a really long conversion process. Does anyone have another idea? Regards, Matthieu |

In case you have not seen it, there is an Offline Wikipedia for the Irex Iliad. This approach isn't immediately applicable to the PocketBooks, though, because it requires a web browser.

Have you considered using the dictionary tools?
Wikipedia (subsets) can be found as DVD-image downloads of essentially pure HTML and as xml query subsets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_database It should not be impossible to convert one of the downloads to a standard dictionary format or to XDXF and then use the conversion tools to produce a Wikipedia "dictionary". Of course, how to bridge that divide is an exercise for the student. ![]() Theoretically it could instead be converted to a searchable epub or FB2 ebook with embedded hyperlinks but I doubt the resulting multi-GB file would even open.

Thx wallcraft, I will take a look on the irex solution.
fjtorres, I've think about dictionary tool but I'm not sure pocketbook will handle dictionary with GB of data. The other issue is the format: I'd like to get an output close to wikipedia website. Do you know if pocketbook dictionary handle simple html code? It seems to me that the epub solution isn't realistic. |
