With wireless access, each school could have a 1 million tome library. Library Genesis alone is at 230 k already. It's trivial to replicate. In fact, it would be a fun underground philantropy project to furnish every university in the developing world with a thing like that (costs: probably under 3000 USD/unit, though of course you'd need ~500 USD Android tablets to access it).
