Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.com) is a free, Internet-based multilingual encyclopedia that has more than 15 million articles and is currently the largest and most popular general reference site on the Internet. The articles are written by registered volunteers around the world and cover an amazing variety of subjects.
The occasional cultural bias, as well as reliability and accuracy, have been criticized, but Wikipedia is supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, and its policies strongly support verifiable information and a neutral point of view.

For Wikipedia on the go, there’s the Wikireader (www.thewikireader.com), a self-contained device that holds more than three million entries from the online site, all quickly and easily searchable. It’s a snap to check out a word or concept by just looking it up on the spot.Wikireader’s 3.5-inch touch screen has a virtual keyboard and selection and scrolling functions. The text-only LCD screen is easy to read but not back lighted, so you’ll need good ambient lighting to view it. Wikireader is compact, portable, and fun to use. Information has never been easier to find. We like it.
