This seems nice if you ran a coffeeshop. Load up with expired works of literature and go.

  It would be a better user experience in a coffee shop to just have a media server on the network. People are already likely connected to your wifi for internet. Setup a local domain and post QR codes for it.

    Once you go full media, well ... I think that's way more troublesome in terms of local bandwidth and trying to find public domain music and film. Although showing Night of the Living Dead in a coffeehouse does have some kind of amusement value. Still, only works if you own it and have local control.

      As soon as music is involved, ASCAP will come a-knockin' in the US at least. They're legally pugnacious even when they're in the wrong knowing that bar/restaurant/coffee shop/store owners don't have the resources to fight them.

      A media server for books, literature, newspapers, etc. - I don't think they were suggesting sharing/screening movies.
