Overview: Encyclopodia

• This is a specialized eBook reader created for iPodLinux.
• It reads specially converted .epodia eBooks, acting as a handy reference tool for wiki dumps such as Wikipedia.
• Encyclopodia uses a modified podzilla2 build with the encyclopodiareader module and minimal other modules.
• The original Encyclopodia was a fork of the iPodLinux project but later a podzilla2 module was ported (by jsha).
• The podzilla2 module port is incomplete; there are many features from the original Encyclopodia that are missing in the PZ2 module and it is prone to many bugs (notably font display). For more information, see:
• http://encyclopodia.sourceforge.net/
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Encyclopodia

Usage:

• FastLaunch through "Tools > Encyclopodia".
• A pre-converted Wiktionary dump (June 13, 2008) is provided; a pre-converted iPodLinux wiki dump (March 7, 2008) can be found in the ZeroSlackr SVN. To create your own .epodia file, see "Misc/Docs/Creation-Instructions.txt" or visit the official Encyclopodia website (where you can also download a preconverted Wikipedia dump) and place the .epodia file in the "Library" folder (you must first delete the old .epodia file).
• Note that you can only have ONE .epodia file in the "Library" folder; if there is more than one, Encyclopodia will probably crash. This is a limitation of the PZ2 port.
• Encyclopodia contains only the bare minimum in modules; if you really want to add more PZ2 modules, place them in the "Modules" folder.
• Since this Encyclopodia version uses PZ2, there are often memory issues and you will sometimes get "Bzip error:"s. If this happens, just reboot and try again.
