Where can I get a collection of Wikipedia articles in e-book format? (lemmy.wtf)

I hope asking a question about Wikipedia is not against the rules, couldn't find nor confirmation nor contrary in the sidebar.

I have a PocketBook reader that doesn't support Kiwix. Would need an EPub or another primitive text format. I know a tool to save an archive on epub exists, but no already packed thing with a top 50000/100000 collection.

I don't know of any epub format sources, but it is possible to set up a static copy of Wikipedia on a personal computer using Wiki Data Dumps and Kiwix. Mayhaps that could be a starting point for public access or conversion.
