[Wikireader] Fw: Reducir tamaño Wikipedia en XS

[Samuel Klein]

Fabien,

Not all of es, I believe it is just the ones on this list
   http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/eswiki/top70k_final

minus the blacklist...

It also compresses well, from over 500M down to 60M (without images).

I like the bookshelf style module selection; that would be good for
wikitexts as well.  Could you try this for some of the featured en
wikibooks?  (Most of them have pdf's for comparison).

Regards,
SJ
