For the folks that might have missed this one. Over at Mobileread, one of the community developers (amirshim) has created a way to browse Wikipedia on the iLiad without being connected to the internet.

The project is still in an early stage, but thanks to the efforts of the good folks over at Mobileread, there is already an installer package available. Which can be downloaded here (54 MB).

The “Simple English Wikipedia” is less than 100MB, but for the full version you will need a CF card with atleast 4GB capacity.

For more information, check out Amir’s blog or if you have an iLiad and want to get started, head over to the Mobileread forum.

Now and than I will try to spend some time to share some of the tips and tricks on how they get the most out of their iLiad, from the people within iRex.

If you like to store a large amount of content on your iLiad, like some of the people here, the best way to do this is to extend the storage capacity of the iLiad with an external MMC or CF card. However it is not possible to easily access your documents on the external memory card via the archives keys. To solve this one of our engineers came up with a nice trick

When you press on one of the archive key (e.g. Books) on the iLiad, you would not only see the content on the internal memory but also an entry to content on other external memories (e.g. Books on CF card). This way you can use the archive keys to easily access your content regardless on which memory they are stored.

To enable this, download the necessary files here and follow the instructions in the readme.txt file.

If you experience any trouble make sure to let us known here.
