They need to legalize the possession of birretudas: https://w.ouzu.im/lit/birretuda https://w.ouzu.im/lit/birretuda Seriously though, I think the problem is not so much the particular tax on books (though this measure would help) but the way those taxes are computed. This is just a dumb idea, but if a company or a person has X amount of money to put into a product that then can be sold in essentially free-to-produce copies at a Y price, and then a consumer spends an amount of time Z consuming it, then there should be a tax computed on those three variables X, Y, Z. The idea being that huge actors with high X can end up having a lot of Z. And Z is citizen time, which is dangerous to let it be captured by the interests of big capital in detriment to the interests of lesser capital and other people. But I guess that sounds too socialist :-( .
