WikiReader, handheld device to have the Wikipedia offline

WikiReader, handheld device to have the Wikipedia offline – WikiReader not connected to the network, all information is in its interior and is basically the idea is to have the possibility to consult the free offline. While the grace of Wikipedia is its constant update, you may update WikiReader through microSD cards and downloads from the manufacturer’s website.

The device is easy to handle, has a touch screen and a range of up to 12 months (working with AAA).

The idea is not bad because they point to a market offline and not available with next-generation mobile internet access, because it makes no sense to have it at home if we have the laptop with full-color screen, or iPhone with Internet throughout the Weather … on the website they refer to 75% of the planet that is disconnected from the internet, so actually implement AAA batteries because they are everywhere.

To my left I felt that simply want to make money, act as if it were a single solution offering access to Wikipedia, exploit the freedoms of the Creative Commons and sell something cheap, it costs me to find useful, but insurance has a large waiting market.

The WikiReader price is $ 99 and can receive updates on card, 2 times per year, $ 29. That in places where no internet is a lot of money.
