While I don’t think it’s what you are referring too, I use the Minipedia app which
provides the N most popular articles in an offline format which I find useful when
travelling. N is determined by how much you pay. Since it doesn’t offer to update the
collection, I presume the articles are some years old but I don’t find it a problem in
practice when I just want to learn something about Swaziland for example. I don’t think
Minipedia has anything to do with WMF other than legitimately reusing its content.

that's the one. Thanks Nemo
I didn't think it was available anymore. Kiwix looks interesting, although it
doesn't have the same "drop out of a plane and throw away" aspect as the
WikiReader
True, but nowadays Android phones are so cheap that ad hoc devices are rarely
competitive... When we tried to distribute many WikiReader devices, we usually failed.
