Some questions:
1) Can I write a program which spiders the encyclopedia to keep it after the hour?
2) Do I get advance warnings for when this is going to happen, or is it just "bam, you have 1 hour starting now!"

Or even printing? Can I print off as much as I can in that hour, or do I only get what I can remember.

i doubt the OS of the encyclopedia would be compatible with our current OSes. so no spiders, unless you find an article on how to write spiders for this OS.
