Absolutely no way. Yup.
> Buying millions of ebooks online would take a lot of effort, downloading data from publishers isn't a thing that can be done efficiently
Oh no, it takes effort and can't be done efficiently, poor Google!
How can this possibly be an excuse? This is such a detached SV Zuckerberg "move fast and break things"-like take.
There's just no way for a lot of people to efficiently get out of poverty without kidnapping and ransoming someone, it would take a lot of effort.
