That would require a device to be made with the developing world in mind. We've seen a few tries- the One Laptop Per Child program, India's attempt at a super-cheap Linux tablet, and the like; but nothing that has really caught on. You also have to deal with illiteracy rates in the developing world.
Back to bookshelves as a whole, without them how will people hide secret doors? Behind expensive tapestries?
