I travel for work about 3 weeks out of every month. As such, having a full library is a necessity. I am in places frequently where wifi is non existent or spotty at best.

I never know what I am going to feel like reading (or re-reading). And I read a lot when I travel.

On a side note, I have a usb backup of my entire library in an EMP proof sealed metal box at home


And there have been solutions that fit my needs, they are all discontinued... Huawei Mediapad X2 32GB and the Nexus 7 (2013) 32GB both would work perfectly but they are no longer available which is why I am looking for alternative solutions.

As noted, my Samsung S2 works fine but I really need something compact I can fit in a coat pocket (as my hands are almost always full when travelling). My current Huawei T2 7.0 Pro works fine but I was never able to find the 32GB version of it and between the size of my library and the massive amount of bloatware and phone related apps on it, it's getting close to full.
