Kiwix is an offline reader for Web content. It's especially intended to make Wikipedia available offline (see Special:MyLanguage/features). With Kiwix, you can enjoy Wikipedia on a boat, in the middle of nowhere... or in Jail. Kiwix manages to do that by reading ZIM files, a highly compressed open format with additional meta-data.
Kiwix uses the Mozilla framework and is available in more than 80 languages. It has full text search, tabbed navigation and possibility to export articles to PDF and HTML.
Kiwix is a free software (GPL3), that means you can freely copy, modify and spread it.
