You used to be able to have the entirety of Wikipedia on an iPod. Back when the entire text was 4gb.

But I mean considering Wikipedia pages are so small, and Internet so cheap. Why?

Internet censorship is more of a reality and a problem than it felt at the dawn of the age of cheap wireless broadband. I can certainly see the value in local wikipedia copies if internet blocks, age gates, etc need to be contended with.

One of those may be useful in say Iran RN.
