Want to update your WikiReader?

We are offering a free download of our latest software (Spring 2010). WikiReader's database is extremely large, over 4.7 Gigabytes (GB), so the download will take 4-8 hours using a broadband connection. Please click on link for your computer's Operating System (OS) and then follow the instructions below:

Update: Mac or Linux

Your system will be able to automatically decompress this file.

Update: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 - Windows

Windows has a problem handling files that are larger than 2 GBs. We apologize but you need to download the software in 5 parts and use a free piece of software called 7-zip to extract the pieces into one folder.

We apologize for the current complexities. We're working on a simple update method that will be available this summer. If you're uncomfortable with this current process, we strongly suggest you hold off on the update for now.

How to update your WikiReader memory card:

1. Open the back battery door.

Slide the door in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustrator here.

2. Remove the two AAA batteries.

3. Remove the memory card.

Hold the case vertically and you will see a small black bar (labeled SD in the illustration at right). This is the memory card. Press down to partially eject the memory card. Grasp the card between your forefinger and thumb and gently lift to remove.

4. Copy new update to the memory card.

Using your microSD card reader, first delete all the existing files on your memory card. Then extract the downloaded file directly onto your memory card.
