if you are referring to 3rd world countries, the problems are the same like with the 99$ computer...you need
- people who can read
- dustfree environment
- free electricity
Plain Paper does not need the second two...
And we did not even talk about network/interent connection costs..
Me myself live on a very low budget and a lot is spend on internet connection costs montly.
To come back to your post, "ereader for a better world":
In my opinion The best and biggest eReader with FREE content is an old computer with (uncensored) internet access.
"something with no bells no whistles just for reading text" would involve somebody filtering the books for these people using such a device...and that never leads to a better world.
