Holiday Gift Picks: The WikiReader

The WikiReader kind of reminds me of the Nintendo Wii. Gadget lovers who want a device with the latest bells and whistles may not exactly go crazy over it. But it's great for kids, mom and dad, or just your casual non-tech person.

For the uninitiated, the WikiReader is a portable encyclopedia that contains more than 3 million entries from popular online site Wikipedia. It's got a simple, no-nonsense interface that's easy to use and provides a wealth of information for curious and inquiring minds. But like any device, it isn't for everyone.

To check if this pocket Wikipedia device might make a good gift for someone you know this Christmas, check out my full WikiReader review.
