From time to time I would be browsing stuff on Wikipedia and come across an interesting article that I would like to read, but at a later time. Specifically I would like to be able to read it while away from the computer. I used to print off pages, but this proved to be a waste of paper (particularly when I end up not reading many printouts) and very messy (with lots of sheets of paper lying around).
I was thinking about buying an ebook reader but these are very expensive, so before spending a lot of money on a new device, I decided to try reading on my phone.
I had sent short notes to my phone before to read, so I tried this with a few wikipedia entries. I just cut & pasted the text from the web page to to a txt file and sent it to my phone. Later when I went to read them I realized that a note could only be 3000 characters long. This was way to short.

My next step was to download ReadManiac. This is a very good reader that you can change font size and uses the screen to the maximum. Plus, it can read large files.

ReadManiac has a feature that lets you download eBooks by providing a url. I am now using this feature to download wikipedia entries as plain text via a script on my website.
