To be honest, I always think that actions such as this are pointless. There are thousands and thousands of free ebooks already if one wants to read the classics, or get the the free give-aways. For new books one could use a library.
Even the hardware is often free; I've seen e-readers and older laptops at thrift shops for as low as €25. If the computer has a 20GB HDD and 2GB RAM, which is basically the case for anything produced in the last 10 years, you can clean the device inside and out (if the store didn't, but they mostly do), wipe the hard disk (most often done as well already), install a Linux Mint version with a desktop requiring low power (XFCE, LXDE), and you're good to go.
Nearly every mall, subway, bar or whatever provides free WIFI, so you wouldn't even need to get your own internet connection to obtain books.
