I hope somebody si going to recognize a big business opportunity here and starts selling old 64 or 128MB SD cards loaded with books.
You select the book, he purchases it for you, puts it on an SD card in his country and ships the card physically. Just like he would ship paper books.
EDIT:
When you accumulate 10 cards, you ship them back, declared value $5, for "recycling", so the next 10 purchases you do not have to pay for physical card.
