Yes, I was thinking of places outside of Africa. On the other hand, these places are hardly Arctic settlements. There are many places that are incredibly poor because they are cut off from the world: tropical islands (by water), mountain villages (by terrain), arctic settlements (by distance), or forest towns (by flora). Then there are issues created by people, which make it difficult/expensive to get goods to remote towns. Cram a library including thousands of books onto a microSD card, i.e. something tiny an incredibly easy to conceal, and the criminal element is none the wiser.
