Actually with the right E-reader, and the Project Gutenburg books on SD cards, you really wouldn't need a PC for it to work. Have the option to swap the SD card with the books you've read for another SD card with new authors.
Plus most of these kids have at least some computer access at school.
So they could go get Funke's Inkheart, or whatever they are interested in.
And get it on their ereader.
Now as to if the government should be doing this the way they are doing it, that is a horse of another color. IMO this should be done at the local library/School level. Funded by a blend of National, state and local governments.
