You can get it for $27 on Amazon at the moment (normally $99). http://www.amazon.com/Pandigital-Handheld-Electronic-Encyclo...

I'm almost inclined to get one to replace mine, whose screen went permanently dim at some point.

The code is open source, so you could theoretically use it with custom content that you adapt to their build formats. They also provide downloads for a bunch of other-language Wikipedias, as well as Wiktionary, Wikitravel, and Project Gutenberg. You can swap out the built-in microSD card (8GB?) for a much larger one and just put everything on it.
