so, um, I bought a 7.8" e-ink Android tablet
(thinking with the current *waves hands around at everything*, an extremely low power, sunlight-readable device that I can slap a ton of reference material on, with the ability to run arbitrary apps, wouldn't be a bad thing to have)

thoughts accepted for what to put on the thing
an incomplete list of what I'm thinking when I get it:
* the messengers that I typically use (it has wifi, so that could be handy in wifi range)
* Firefox with uBlock Origin
* OneNote
* OsmAnd with offline maps of at least all of Ohio (I don't believe it has GPS, but I have ways of getting GPS coordinates)
* maybe a condensed Wikipedia dump? (looks like the Wikipedia release project has stalled since 2011, though, and the partial dumps out there are of... varying... quality)
* documentation on survival (recommendations on specific e-books?)
* documentation on any of the equipment I plan on having with me (including vehicles!)
* offline dump of sheldonbrown.com? (that falls under "documentation on equipment" ofc)
* various entertainment software that's low resource (crosswords, sudoku, that kind of thing)

@bhtooefr Missed the part where you said eink, sorry. Good luck with Web browsing and maps on an eink tablet.

yeah, no.
