The WikiReader was a project sponsored by Openmoko and made by Pandigital. It debuted in October 2009 as an offline portable reader for Wikipedia.
The device had a monochrome touchscreen display with a resolution of 240 by 208 pixels and a capacitive touchscreen with an on-screen keyboard. The WikiReader was strictly a text only display device and did not store or display any Wikipedia images. The device could also run programs written in the Forth programming language, a simple calculator program was included.
The WikiReader project was abandoned in late 2014 for unknown reasons, but existing WikiReaders continue to be available from secondary markets such as eBay and Amazon. Dispite the project being abandoned the device didnt really die, thanks to a highly-private and tremendously dedicated figure called Jack, who keeps the utility of the decade-old device alive. Jack sells SD cards with updated content for $34, or $29 for a digital download, without the new SD card your WikiReaders contents are totally outdated.
