A few years ago I purchased a manual well pump for my water well and it came with a free DVD containing over a hundred PDF survival publications. I copied those to a SD card and now I have all those publications on my android tablet. I also have kindle publications on this same tablet. This is a great way to have vast stores of information on hand at all times and in a pinch you can even read them on a cell phone. Also, if I break the tablet I can just transfer the SD card to another tablet and I’m back in business.

Kindle’s are nice but pricey. Instead you can get a generic Android tablet and install apps for both Kindle and Nook. For other ebook types there is an outstanding ebook reader called AiReader. It will display everything but .pdf and I would be surprised if it does not “develop” that capability in the future. It is very easy to use.

I would also suggest installing all the bulk storage you can get. My Nextbook came with 64 Gb and I slotted in an additional 32 Gb. I expect to replace that with a 64 Gb chip in the not too distant future. You can never have too much bulk storage space.

In reply to what. Couldn't one make a small faraday cage for this?

GPS should by no means be considered ‘essential’… but certainly not laughable either, jeni. GPS signals rely on no ground support, it is all via satellite, remember? a real handheld gps unit has maps pre-loaded and only relies on coordinates from the satellites to place your position on the map.

now, your fancy cellphone gps of course will be useless the minute the 3g/cell coverage goes out, but a real backcountry gps will be useful as long as those satellites are in orbit.

as far as the electricity being out… i think we all are aware of some type of off grid charging solution. i myself have a couple of solar / hand crank radios that can also charge your cellphone (or gps, kindle, ipod, whatever…) via USB.

Good luck with all that crap when the power goes out. GPS. Hee, hee, that made me giggle…If you think a gps is essential to survival you are screwed.

It is all good if you have the 3g in your neighborhood…but it true, once they are uploaded…you are all good.

I prefer my iTouch with the Kindle app on it. Not as nice as a kindle, but with the three hundred dollar price difference, I don’t mind. Great alternative to a kindle in my opinion.
