I would save them on a card or usb stick and then open them on the surface, is this possible also in the offline mode?
Absolutely. There is no real "offline mode", the whole device just works like any other Windows PC, and you can open your files off MicroSD or off a drive plugged into the USB port.
And would you buy the touch cover / type cover again?
Absolutely. I feel the keyboard should have been included for free (like Asus is doing). You really shouldn't buy one without it. I have both keyboards - but I prefer the touch cover.
