WikiWand is a free browser extension that overhauls the look and interface of Wikipedia. It uses a big serif typeface, lets you preview links on hover, forces the table of contents to scroll with you and even loads faster.

(NSFW: Language) Wikipedia is the start of our ascent descent journey towards a hive mind. TL;DR Wikipedia is our collective common sense. It’s The Onion of general information. It’s the Fake Science of trivia. It’s the Wikipedia of snark.

The ultimate unitasker, the WikiReader lets you read all of Wikipedia offline (it updates via SD card); it has a B&W screen, four buttons and can run up to 12 months on two AAA batteries.

It’s already outdated, but Rob Matthews’ Wikipedia Book is a 5,000 page tome that includes Wikipedia’s 2,500+ featured articles; we’re gonna bet that editing is disabled on this one.

Worshipped by students but anathema to college professors and teaching assistants, we actually used Wikipedia while writing this post to figure out what anathema means; Thanks, Wikipedia!
