One thing distributors might do is come up with a means of people paying for e-books who do not have credit/debit cards nor link to paypal. In other words, actual cash.

There are countless thousands, if not millions, who would like to buy ebooks if they could do so easily with actual money. Take my thumb drive down to the local bookstore/supermarket/digital shop, have my ebook purchases loaded onto it, pay tthe man, and go home. Just like buying my groceries or petrol for my car.

One day some genius will open an online shopfront store which does just that.

Maybe.

(Or, here's an afterthought, an Internet Cafe.)
