No idea how well it would actually work, but having www.howtoinventeverything.com as a reference manual would probably not be a terrible idea.
Comment on I will be taking no followup questions. Thank you for your time

During a get together someone asked if you could go back in time, what one item would you take with you? My cousin said his cell phone so he could have unlimited knowledge with him. I was called an asshole for telling him it wouldn’t work unless he downloaded it all on his phone and asking how would he charge it.

wikipedia without images is like 100gb, get rid of all the utterly useless things like art and sports and it’s more like 40gb

A phone would be a bit much, but an ereader with a solar charger loaded up with Wikipedia and a chunk of Project Gutenberg would probably last with a bit of care.

This is a good reminder, I need to upload my Kiwix backup to my eReader. I keep a Wikipedia essentials download, survival and medical encyclopedias, and a bunch of "from the ground up" engineering resources backed up offline.

In what format do you keep the backup on the eReader? Is it convenient to browse?

I haven't actually issued it over to my ereader yet, but I have a Boox so I will probably just use the Kiwix android app

That’s two items. The second one costs extra.
