Chris -

I agree, it would be nice to have all general discussion of readers on a single list until there is more traffic.  Once offline-l is created, I'll post a short announcement to the list.  For others who want to subscribe or read the wikireader archives, they are here:

Wade, thanks for adding Aleksey.  InfoSlicer is a useful counterpoint to traditional readers; and the OpenZim community may be particularly interested in it.

Meanwhile, for those who haven't seen the latest blog post about Zim progress:

It might be worth reconsidering what formats WikiBrowse and cdpedia use.

Yes.  The USB key model seems more robust than one requiring a working DVD player, but we should try both and see what the responses are in different areas.
