It’s awesome. No more running back with late books. They automatically clear the book the day after the day it’s due. I love it. Also Amazon has a huge selection of free books through their book program with amazon. I’d imagine most are using these options. Libraries and book stores would be hard to keep controlled.

incurious, ignorant, and don't read much beyond slogans.

Anti-intellectuals don't care about inter-library loans or free electronic books.

There’s also anecdotal evidence their brains are wired differently. I would also venture a guess that the “open the country back up” crowd reads a book about as often as their president.
