I think we should get kids excited about reading a book through the experience the book provides, not the experience the delivery provides.

In the past they used to have book mobiles, and probably still do in some areas. It's a library in a van...not like a UPS delivery where you pick a book out online and you only get that book. A book mobile is where kids can go in the van, physically touch and feel books and choose one that excites them. They can talk to other kids, talk to the librarian...

At some point when drone delivery of books get boring, someone will need to invent teleportation just to get kids to read.
