No mention if it's 10,000 titles or total copies.
Given the "modest" adjective and the BPH involvement, it might be the latter.
Politicians are tricky that way.
Of course, kids with the necessary hardware already have access to a lot more than 10,000 titles. |
They also cited a $250 million commitment from publishers. Unless there are significant other parts to the program, I would hope that they mean titles. Otherwise you're talking about $25,000 per book. At that price you could provide an ereader and a part time librarian with each copy.
