Does anyone use this on the Digital Reader? Does it work? |

Yes, I do! It works, but the file extension must be "mpb" instead of "prc".

I downloaded und unpacked the archive of the wikipedia provided by the MobiPedia project. Since the files in the archive have the extension prc and the firmware of the Digital Reader only accepts mbp, you have to rename them. Afterwards I copied all the files (now *.mpb) into the directory inteded for dictionaries on the device. I guess I had to reboot the device to make it work. That's all.

Well, I wasn't able to look up in the Wikipedia until I renamed the files, so I concluded the file extension might have caused the problem.

report of WPMP - Spanish wikipedia in DR1000
Quote:
Problems: - Unicode character encoding (utf-8). The reader can display some of the pages, whenever the title doesn't have unicode characters. The reader halts if there's certain symbols. - There's a problem with the index search, too. If you go to the index link in the main page, you will browsing a blank page. (I guess it has to do with the unicode). - Dictionary. The files doesn't have markup to be a dictionary. So you can only open random pages. |

Gogolo, I have a commentary about the extension file: The spanish wikipedia has 18 files named wpes0.prc to wpes18.prc. So the extensión isn't .mbp. (A quick scan of the mobipocket files shows that all my books has the prc extension, too).
As additional note: I have tried with FBReader too, but the result was is the same (doesn't work). |

Thats sort of a mystery. Pagnol, could you explain further? Renaming to .mpb isnt working for us. Which firmware do you have? Did you install additional software? Thanks.

Currently I am using version 1.7.1 of the firmware but the Wikipedia was perfectly usable with 1.7.0, too. I haven't got a clue what you are doing wrong. I just copied the content of the archive into the system/dictionaries on the device, rebooted the deviced and that's all.

Thats puzzling. Can somebody else download the wikipedia and try? There is also the english version! No one out there who likes to have a 2008 wikipedia on his DR1000? Here:
