Drop it on an old kindle, pick up a cheap battery with integrated solar charger, charge up the kindle. Not that hard.

-No longer pocket size

-"Hold on, we can start surviving just as soon as my shitty old kindle charges by solar"

-Plus, how often does it need to reauthorize through Amazon? Unless it's an Amazocalypse these DRM files will be useless

So, I don't think you're meant to wait until the apocalypse to read this. You could, like, do some pre-reading. Also, you could probably print the book yourself whatever size you'd like. I mean, it's freakin' free.

True (if you have a good way to convert it into a DRM free format anyway). I'm not one to complain about free stuff, I was just disappointed the meatspace version wasn't free and thought it was funny to have a "pocket survival guide" you can't use without a battery or internet.

That's fair. Point taken.

Those who survive will have read it and remember the information in their mind…
You think green berets carry little books and little chairs and desks with them ?

Hmm, in many computers there is this special function, called print. Just make sure you print it using the method that uses carbon with a polymer matrix deposited on bleached wood fiber sheets via laser/led, does not fade compared to inkjet. A stack of these bound together takes up more space than a kindle but does not need power to access the information. No need to reauthorize beyond opening your optical scanners. Also, bug out bag ready if you don't mind wrinkles.

Try printing this DRM locked kindle file and let me know how much effort it takes you

But wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy the book?

Then why is it intended to be pocket size? To read here and there, hoping to get it memorized before TSHTF?

What are the little chairs and desks for again?

And to get back on topic, this guide is OK. Not as well written or laid out as others I've read. I recommend the Survival Doctor's Handbook for the medical stuff and Bushcraft 101 for the survivalist stuff. Not pocket sized or free, but well written and full of actual good advice for outdoorsy people and bunker dwellers alike.
