All the text of Wikipedia fits on a thumb drive, yeah. But add in the images and suddenly it becomes hard to find a stick that could fit it.

  Not really. I mean 1 TB microSD cards exist. Look at Kiwix. I've downloaded the English without the images, and the Dutch version with. Easily got them on my smartphone. Useful when I wouldn't have internet but would still like to look something up. Or if I want to have 'absolute' privacy about what I look up on Wikipedia (assuming my smartphone isn't pwned).

    1TB doesn't come close to fitting Wikipedia + images, you'd need closer to 500TB to be able to fit it. Fitting just the text part is easy.

      The currently latest (2023-10-25) Kiwix dump of the English Wikipedia with pictures is 96Gb.

      Either way, for me chances are the Dutch version with pictures and the English without pictures are adequate.
