Gear Diary Wikireader: Now You Can Carry 33,000 Books Too! photo

OpenMoko’s Wikireader project has let you carry the entire contents of Wikipedia in the palm of your hand for about a year now.  While the device’s design isn’t as awe inspiring as the NookColor or Kindle, it still is an interesting idea.  Thankfully the developers have been hard at work and now have released a great update to the Wikireader that is sure to get some people excited.  

This update now let’s you carry Wikipedia and all 33,000 books from Project Gutenberg all in the palm of your hand.  While you’ve been able to read the classics on Project Gutenberg on your Kindle, the Kindle would not have the storage to carry all of them at the same time like the Wikireader.  If you have a Wikireader, upgrade your card to a 16 GB SD card and go to the update site and download the updates today!
