Really good on the explanation. Even I could understand it and I rarely understand instructions this detailed. Interesting, thx for this.

Like Xowa or WikiTaxi, Kiwix is an application that offers a way to read those Wikipedia downloads and render them the way a web browser would. The big difference is that Kiwix has done quite a bit of the work for you already.
Kiwix has converted the offline files into their own special format and kept them updated. You can download these files manually from the site or use the various apps to download them directly. Luckily the tablet and smartphone apps work pretty well. You might want to consider putting the content files on an SD card if your phone or tablet has limited internal storage.
You can download offline versions of various different Wikimedia projects. For truly portable and offline situations Xowa is still the best choice. The Wikipedia app has a built-in feature that allows you to save and sync articles that you are interested in.
They will be saved to local storage and you can read them at your convenience. In the XML dump file to import section, click on Browse and select the database file you downloaded in step one. For the WikiTaxi database file section, click on Browse and select where you want the folder installed.
Type in a name for the database to be created, and click on Save. Once the import is finished, click on the WikiTaxi. This is your viewer. The application will then start at a random page, but you can easily start browsing away from it to other articles.
