wikireader doesn't say whether the data is just plain text or somehow encrypted in their format. (I couldn't find it)

I don't need pictures, just plain wikipedia-text. Best with the discussion-pages and all that. Suitable for keyword-searches, maybe even from program or  batch-file

Wikireader is article text only, no images or discussion pages. They include a limited set of formatting and other specialized code for layout in addition to the text, but nowhere near as extensive as raw Wikitext would be. It is all heavily compressed to make it fit in the space available, but that's entirely reversible of course.
