Interesting article.
Sending laptops to villages without electricity has me a bit stymied (first part of interview) maybe solar powered?
Also the part about 100 books on each laptop adding up to 10,000 books? Why not just put the whole 10,000 on each laptop.
And assuming that these villages have their own dialects/language issues are there10,000 useful books for them or is this some self serving scam. for example to use a laptop/computer it helps if one can read.

While I agree with the concept, I see laptops piling up or being sold on the black market while whatever device is used to power them in a village without electricity is being used to cook or watch TV
