Why though?
Why take "book" and make it even more fragile and dependent on a dozen factors?
You're better off printing actual survival guide PDFs duplex with 4 pages per side, binding that, and storing it with a little magnifying glass.
"oh the world is ending, just let me set up my solar charging station to power the LLM which will read a book for me".

They appear to be different projects, here's the GitHub of the one you're linking: https://github.com/anonnerdfrenzy/survival-llm

Once again I have to suggest Project Nomad.
It already puts together an installer, stack, knowledge base, and local LLM support

neat idea but it requires a PC, this requires power and an outlet, which in a true disaster case is not possible.
Is there anything but for mobile? Or even a dedicated device.

Many people have generators for shorter term emergencies. Even in places with severe infrastructure damage they often have grid power, just unreliably and only for a few hours at a time.
Also there's solar. For the cost of a gaming PC you can get a solar and lfp battery setup that will power a laptop for a very long time.
