Emmanuel: Kiwix allows to read Wikipedia offline. In addition, using the highly efficient ZIM file format (http://www.openzim.org), Kiwix can read any HTML content offline. In order to enjoy Wikipedia offline, you need to download Kiwix and a ZIM file of Wikipedia (from the Kiwix web-site or directly from the Kiwix internal library).

Then you can surf in Wikipedia as if you were online. Kiwix provides almost everything you will need:

    Case and diacritics insensitive full text search engine
    Bookmarks & Notes
    ZIM based HTTP server
    PDF/HTML export
    Localized in more than 80 languages
    Search suggestions
    Tabs navigation
    Integrated content manager/downloader
