A new device has been created with the sole purpose of having access to wikipedia as you are on the go. The WikiReader has a $99 price point and offers access to all of Wikipedia's articles (currently massing over 3 million.) This device runs off of two AAA batteries and has a small touchscreen with only three buttons. This offer the commands "search, history, and random". The WikiReader fits comfortably in the palm of your had is about the size of a "stack of post-it notes". No internet is required for reading articles. This is somewhat a downfall because it also menas articles don't update instantly as they do with the website. Updates are offered quarterly. They can be obtained for free via the WikiReader website or at a $29 annual cost through the use of microSD updates.
