As Kenny C has noted you totally missed the point.
I personally have no objection to providing for those actually dependent
on me. In fact most ebooks that I would be providing a dependent would
be ebooks purchased especially for that dependent. In most cases though
I would be providing Classics that are available free.
Once a certian level of maturity is reached though, I would rather that they
develop an increasing level of self-reliance and would help them acquire the
skills to find and purchase ebooks that they can afford.
As a long retired enlisted man, almost all my friends have higher incomes
than I do, so they can better afford to buy what they need to support their
own forms of entertainment. (Oddly, none of them are inclined to give
ME
any ebooks, either.)
Luck;
