Libraries allow (not only) poor people to read as much books as they want for free or ~the price of a cheap book. That seems to be a much better mechanism to allow for literacy independent of income than trying to make books cheaper.

Why shouldn’t they get to own books like you can, without paying above market prices so middle-class people can have nice spaces?
