Pros
- The Kiwix project just released their newest wikipedia archive
- Probably Wikipedia, WikiMed, UrbanPerpper on a Kiwix server and movies

- download wikipedia through their data dumps (in fact, check out all of kiwix, there's a lot of good stuff there [https://kiwix.org/en/](https://kiwix.org/en/) )
- It's an offline content reader that packages entire websites or large datasets into easy-to-use archives in .zim format, letting you access massive resources like Wikipedia without an internet connection. The interface feels just like a...
Cons
- Kiwix.org scrapes websites for their reader. Wikipedia is one of them.
- Something like a Kiwix maybe?
- I found the app's internal downloader to be a bit jank. Just download their pre-compiled zims through a web browser or wget.

It's an offline content reader that packages entire websites or large datasets into easy-to-use archives in .zim format, letting you access massive resources like Wikipedia without an internet connection. The interface feels just like a regular web browser - you search, click links, and browse content exactly as you would online, but everything is stored locally on your device in a single, manageable file.
You can download most of these things through kiwix for free. This is a product aimed at people who don't know that or won't bother to google it.
It's just Kiwix on a pi, easy and cheap to make yourself if you got the free time and definitely useful
Kiwix now has a full copy of Libretexts.
