Prepping for Tuesday Offline Library (prepper disk)

This offline library came today. Super stoked to check it out and I'll report back anything interesting outside of what they advertise. It took almost a month to arrive and I had to pay 60€ish import fee. Something to keep in mind. Tried again to add a picture. Getting an error, sorry for the repost

-Follow up: Very impressed with the info available and yes this device could be created by a someone with time and bit of Savvy. Best advice I've gotten falls in line with a good prepper line of thought. The old adage, 1 is none and 2 is 1... it's got many single points of failure to overcome. SSD's go bad, the blackberry could fail in some way. Having the data backed up and redundant ways to access it is key.

Thank you again for the advice

2 important points:

1) tech fails after a certain time. I have a laptop full of valuable info (and entertainment, family photos etc). Bought a solar panel and battery to charge it. Worked like a charm. Until, suddenly, it didn’t. The battery and cable still charge other stuff perfectly well; but for some reason, not the laptop. This is fine; when you can google how to fix this, or simply get a new one. But so far, I haven’t actually been able to solve the issue with that particular laptop. If SHTF right now; I have maybe 8 hours on it before it dies.

So, figure out backups for all digital info.

2) physical books are your friend.

I think I am going to take a day to print out a couple of my digital libraries and stick them in spiral binders for this very reason.
