Kindles can be had relatively cheap and hold a good long charge. Thousands of books, PDF's and other reference files can be easily stored, and the device re-charged with a solar charger.

One book I do keep a hard copy of in bags, mainly because it was printed on water resistant paper is Mykel Hawkes:

The Portable Guide to Getting Out Alive by
