Grants:IdeaLab/Wikipedia on Amazon Kindle

Wikipedia on Amazon Kindle
I particularly like the Kindle Paper White, have an application where you can read Wikipedia with the Kindle format, in case Amazon does not collaborate, I would work with you to create your own Wikipedia tablet (Wikitablet) with electronic ink technology.

Audience

edit

Who are the people you want to introduce Wikipedia to?

edit

Try to be as specific as possible about this group.
All users in general.

In what languages do they search for information, online or otherwise?

edit

Spanish and English

In what ways does this group communicate with each other?

edit

This can include services and apps in social media, mailing lists, physical spaces like conferences or lectures, or at specific institutions like at a library.
Facebook, Whatsapp

What are some reasons this group would use Wikipedia? How would they benefit from it, or what would they find useful?

edit

Think about what they would be interested in reading and learning about; does Wikipedia provide better access to information this group cares about?
It would definitely be more relaxing to read from electronic ink and not from a color screen.
