- really like my new n800, and i'm always looking for new content for reading offline... besides getting all the Doc Savage novels and Gutenberg books, i also wanted a small copy of Wikipedia for reading through a file:// URL...
- after a bit of searching on the 'net, i ended up with a cache of 2,000 articles in a directory on my 4gb removable card...
- first, i went to
here
, then followed the links to a torrent download, such as one from
here
- after downloading, i mounted the .iso image, then copied the html directory onto my card... i then launched the n800 browser, and used the web page menu to open:
html/art/d/w.html
and set a bookmark named as nWiki
- this page contains a category index to the wiki content... alternatively you can click a link at the bottom of this page to go to an alphabetical listing of all the articles...
- now i have plenty of reading material!
- and the content only requires 435mb of card storage...
- hope this helps someone looking for a nice collection of off-line material...
