OpenMoko (Om), a company that previously created an open source smartphone, has just launched The WikiReader, a dedicated reader device with an offline copy of the entire English Wikipedia (without images) stored on a small chip.

The device has a simple LCD touchscreen and three buttons for searching, viewing random pages, and looking up previously viewed pages.
