It turns out that not only can the Wikireader store and display the entire English version text of Wikipedia on a micro-SD card, but there's room left over for other things. For example PROJECT GUTENBERG! Yep, that's right -- someone has created a Wikireader version of the entire Project Gutenberg, a huge repository of public domain texts (basically, anything written before 1923).
Not enough for you? How about brushing up on your foreign language skills by installing a language pack or two?
Still not enough for you? Then how about adding your own content? Someone has come up with a Software Development Kit for the device, which allows you to create games, develop your own software, and basically do anything you want with it. The SDK comes with a few example games, such as Pong, Bouncing Babies, and Space Invaders.
Don't Panic! I'm sure there is still more that can be done, but it's up to you to do them. Plus, since all of the hacks take place on the SD card, there's no chance of bricking the device! Where will the Hitchiker's Guide take you?
Still not enough? Buy an iPhone.
