Wikivoyage:Offline Expedition

The Offline Expedition is a Wikivoyage Expedition to improve the experience of using Wikivoyage offline. This is a feature that some Wikivoyage users have found helpful when they are traveling in places where they do not have reliable access to an internet connection.

• Kiwix is an offline reader for Wikivoyage. See Wikivoyage:Kiwix for details on how to download.
• OsmAnd is a GPS navigation app with downloadable maps that remains fully functional while offline. Paid versions can integrate Wikivoyage listings into map layers and also allow for offline Wikivoyage and Wikipedia browsing.
• PocketEarth is another option that is Wikivoyage compatible. Downloadable maps.

You can also download individual Wikivoyage pages in PDF format. Click the three vertical dots in the top right of any page; then "Download PDF".

Special:Book lets you get started creating your own books, which can be exported to PDF, EPUB or ordered as bound paper books.

An e-book reader is a tablet-sized device intended for single-purpose use displaying text from books stored on a flash memory card. Most are of limited capability compared to general-purpose Android or its rival platforms; the screens are often monochrome and designed to only take power when turning to the next page. This extends battery life at the expense of no colour or backlighting. File size which can be handled as one "volume" of an electronic book is limited - it may be best to split the guide into ten-megabyte sections where each is a guidebook to one region or one large country, much like printed encyclopaedias are shelved as multiple volumes. Wikipedia has been adapted to this platform by taking a 5000-article subset, replacing images with small thumbnails and splitting the collection into 15 volumes. The devices are small, lightweight and portable.

• .epub Used by Nook and Kobo, among others. Each book volume in this file format is basically an oversize .zip file which contains a web page for each chapter of the book and some XML to provide a table of contents. Sigil is one good, free editor to create .epub books from individual web (html) files.
• .pdf Convenient for laptops, but inconvenient for mobile due to incessant scrolling.
• Internet-in-a-Box allows for offline access to Wikivoyage, Wikipedia, and OpenStreetMap among others from a number of devices

• There is a short list of existing offline apps reusing Wikivoyage content at Wikivoyage:Database dump#Applications. Some are proprietary or closed-source.
• Web sites mirroring Wikivoyage for online use are listed at Wikivoyage:List of content re-users.
