i was surprised now about myself. i know openzim since long time, i once even tried the collections extension in the beginning and found the user interface cruel. i installed kiwix on a pc - where i did not need it. i tried to install kiwix on android, but the android version was to old to run. then i hijacked a phone to try it there, and the zim file i wanted to use was so big that the fat32 filesystem could not store it. i wanted to take contens abroad because the mobile phone fees are just too expensive and its a hassle to always chase for a wifi hostspot but i did not go back to the collections extension. so - no downloads from me, even if i would need it. but - i was not able to connect the dots until your mail, erik. thank you so much for it! so i know now that i want pdf to print, and openzim to take away. i am wondering how i get, with this extension, the articles about london from wikipedia and wikivoyage into one book / zim file? rupert. _______________________________________________ Offline-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/offline-l
