i agree -- most donated goods are sold or landfilled anyway. less so with computers. i used to play with this guy who repaired computers that were shipped to africa. they went to missions that deployed them in schools then supported the deployments. my understanding is that this was very successful.
distributing kindles with bibles, classic literature, and educational materials is a great way to impart values. once the reach of the devices reach critical mass, someone will surely figure out how to deliver news and entertainment.
i particularly like the eink reader as a platform due to the imminent crush of supply, their durability, and the user friendly learning curve.
it's worth piloting.
