Body: <p>The built-in access to Wikipedia on the Kindle is lacklustre at best.

Or, perhaps that's such an extraordinarily large file as to defeat the purpose.  I would consider even side-loading such a file if it were available.</p>
  <p>Individually, it's easy enough to download or convert individual articles for reference, of course.  Easy being relative, and, at least with my haphazard approach, a bit unwieldy.</p>

  The built-in access to Wikipedia on the Kindle is lacklustre at best. Even if it were out of date, might "the" Wikipedia be [available](https://www.vice.com/en/article/dyzxgm/you-can-download-the-entirely-of-english-wikipedia-to-browse-offline-using-kiwix) as an `epub` for download? Or, perhaps that's such an extraordinarily large file as to defeat the purpose. I would consider even side-loading such a file if it were available.
  
  Individually, it's easy enough to download or convert individual articles for reference, of course. Easy being relative, and, at least with my haphazard approach, a bit unwieldy.

  I just looked it up and it's not nearly as large as I thought. What's more they provide assistance in downloading it, although not as an Ebook.
