I believe that a popular use of a portable Wikipedia would be its use as a
field guide. This is because the only reason one would get a portable Wikipedia
is to find out about something they are not aware of. It's certainly what I'm
looking for.

Picture it: Adding this to the program would allow anyone, anywhere, to
identify possible safety hazards. All for less than a gigabyte (at least, for
now) using the Simple English Wikipedia .ZIM file and Kiwix. WITHOUT INTERNET!

I'm not suggesting that this be done immediately, but rather over time, maybe a
few per version. One could easily start with the Black Widow and go from there.
Here's a great list to start. If crowdsourcing is an option, count me in:

As an addition, plants and even areas can be added!
