Or spend the $250m on 5M eink readers pre-loaded with classic ebooks, textbooks, and tutorials.

Of course, since pbooks actually cost something to print and distribute it could also be because "gifting" ebooks costs them nothing--just royalties--and they get to deduct more than that off their taxes so they actually come out ahead. Plus they get a presser showing how much they care about the poor.
