I actually love to get something like this as a dedicated Wikipedia device. Text only Wikipedia is 25.90 GB atm [0] so a dirt cheap 32GB microSD would be more than enough. Maybe an old ebook reader

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.
