$29, works like a charm.
Agreed. imagine how valuable this would be to a post-collapse society.
I've never used one, but WikiReader seems like an interesting product. With everyone being able to just pull up live Wiki pages from your phone, there isn't much market for this little guy, but when SHTF, being able to use AAA batteries and not having to rely on a network connection would be pluses in my book.
I don't think you can use your own SD cards though. They sell yearly updated cards (about $20), but they may be using one of the already available offline wikipedia downloaders/formatters.
I have one of these. When I heard about it, I had to have it- The concept makes me happy.
It's the closest we've come to the Hitchhiker's Guide.
