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.

Many people have generators for shorter term emergencies. Even in places with severe infrastructure damage they often have grid power, just unreliably and only for a few hours at a time.

Also there's solar. For the cost of a gaming PC you can get a solar and lfp battery setup that will power a laptop for a very long time.

I understand, myself have such a backup battery for the house. But I am still pleading my case for a mobile solution. If there is a earthquake or large scale disaster, I am more inclined to have already my phone on me than my laptop.

( not sure what was the downvote for... )

Kiwix works on mobile, with easy access to pre-download many books including survival books. No local LLM, but there are apps for this as well, so you could build your own setup without much effort.
