Now supports both Wikipedia AND non-Wikipedia content (iFixit, Wiktionary, etc.) with enhanced error handling and image processing options. WikiReader I created this plugin for KoReader during sometime off: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/9534 It has not been merged yet and probably never will be, but I am using it myself and is fairly stable and works for me. Just give me a database If you have no experience programming or simply want a database file that is preconverted, that can be found here. This database contains the top 60k popular articles of english wikipedia as of may 2025, with the top 10k articles containing images too. Note that the max file size is 4GB for the FAT32 filesystems of common ereaders, so this is about as much info as you can pack in a single DB. If you have an external sd card with NTFS or EXT4 you could convert the full wikipedia with images ( 100 GiB). In theory it should work, but I have not tested it myself. Old database. This database contains 114303 popular articles of english wikipedia as of september 2022. Converting ZIM files yourself Supported Content Types: - ✅ Wikipedia (all languages and variants) - ✅ iFixit (repair guides with images) - ✅ Wiktionary (dictionaries) - ✅ Any ZIM file (universal namespace support) Conversion is optimized and includes comprehensive error handling and debug loggin","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/Bartvelp","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/Bartvelp/zim-converter/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
