Personally, I've often used my ereaders and laptop without network connectivity so while limiting, I don't see it as a reason to not use your devices.

Luggage/baggage/weight allowance. Trying to minimise what I take cos I have a LOT to take clothes wise as I'm there for a month at a time and can borrow a kindle or a laptop whilst there if needed. I rarely use my devices without network connectivity so would have to take it a relative's house or to a coffee shop with free wifi to do so. I can then do my emails on my phone and check in with friends looking after my house. It's a very small screen though so not suitable for reading on. Plus just take my smart phone but it's too small to read on and not enough storage to put calibre on it either. I'm often lucky if I get the TIME to read there anyway as care is a 24/7 job.
But you've given me the idea of preloading them onto an OTG dual USB/micro usb flash drive rather than Dropbox and taking the flash drive with me to load onto my sibling's kindle without needing broadband or data. In fact, if I've probably got a big enough one to load my entire Calibre library onto it (about 6.5k books and counting)! OR, maybe a micro sd card than I can insert and read from.
Always good to put out there what you do yourself to see if anyone has better ideas or triggers another idea for your situation, so thanks for your input. I'll ask my sibling to download a File Manager onto his kindle in advance of my next visit.
