You will need a ZIM file to work with this app. For testing, it comes packaged with the Ray Charles ZIM.
You can download other ZIM archives from the setup page in the app (the download completes in the browser).
Place the file in an accessible location on your device, and use the Rescan Storage button in the app to
display buttons that let you pick the file or the file's folder.

formatted as FAT32, you will only be able to use the split files (.zimaa, .zimab, etc.) in the pre-indexed

Kiwix JS Windows will only access the Kiwix download server if you specifically request it to find and display
download links for ZIM archives on the Configuration page.
You can disable even this Internet access with an option on the same page. If you nevertheless believe your
Internet access can be watched and/or if you are extremely cautious, you should shut down your 3G and WiFi

This application only reads the archive files of your device: it is not capable of reading any other files.
By default, this application will remember your last-visited page between sessions using a local cookie that
is accessible only by this app on this device. If you are accessing sensitive information that you do not wish
to be displayed next time you open this app, we recommend that you turn this option off in the Configuration page.
