I've recently discovered Wikipedia's collections facility where I can bunch a group of articles together, download them as a file and then read them as if they were a book.
Problem is the wiki tool only gives me a few options to save the file (ODT, PDF and ZIM?) and these files all contain images etc. Is there a way I can use Calibre to convert to mobi and remove anything but the text? I'd like to have the structure stored as well but haven't sorted this either yet.
I know Kindle's can read wikipedia directly of the web but I'd prefer to save battery and just have a file I can read directly on the kindle. The result is still pretty good to be fair but I wondered if there is a text only option somewhere in the conversion and preferably a structure option to allow jumping between chapters.
Anyone know if there is a simple to download text version of wikipedia available for Kindles? and if so what size it might be?
