Perfect for offline Wikipedia A recent (April 2012) compressed copy of the whole Wikipedia is available (takes just 10GB). The latest Aard version doesn't work on Android 1.6 devices like Archos 5IT/48, but the previous version 1.3.1 is just fine (the 1.3.1 apk can be downloaded from other sites).

Perfect. Open source. The only way to go.

Excellent Fantastic program! Instant search results and fast, accurate rendering. Wish you could choose or temporarily disable specific "books". Pinch zoom would be great (you can zoom from the settings button). For an up-to-date, full English Wikipedia, Google "aardc slow" and enter the GitHub discussion. A kind soul has been compiling/sharing WP as ~10 GB torrents. Pocket full of awesome even without Internet access!

Can't download dictionaries! Tries to download from app, starts download then says download unsuccessful! I tried directly from site online and it was still unsuccessful...

Great app, can't wait for updates This is a very nice app with the simple english wiki(100mb) and wordnet(50mb). Would be perfect if I could copy selected text, it is in the linux version so I guess it just needs to be implemented.

Good Would be nice if night mode & landscape view option is also implemented.

better than the wikipedia-only readers Wow, Aard is much better than the two wikipedia-specific offline readers I've tried. It's more stable, more accurate in its conversion of the wikipedia articles, and has more recent data. Unlike the others, it looks like wikipedia online. The only downside is the large data-file size (almost 9GB for the English Wikipedia).

Excellent program: stable, accurate, fast and multiplatform too (has versions for Maemo, Windows and Linux that I've used, probably has others too).

very good, esp. as for technical articles: undistorted formulae unlike analogs
