neat idea but it requires a PC, this requires power and an outlet, which in a true disaster case is not possible. Is there anything but for mobile? Or even a dedicated device.

Why though? Why take "book" and make it even more fragile and dependent on a dozen factors? You're better off printing actual survival guide PDFs duplex with 4 pages per side, binding that, and storing it with a little magnifying glass. "oh the world is ending, just let me set up my solar charging station to power the LLM which will read a book for me".

If you need this, you're not gonna make it.

Once again I have to suggest Project Nomad. It already puts together an installer, stack, knowledge base, and local LLM support Edit: copied up https://www.projectnomad.us/
