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.
