IHT Tech News has an article about a new service HP created that could be used as an additional method of distributing Global Text books. It's called Cloudprint, and it's free. Basically, pdf documents are uploaded to an HP server. They can then be downloaded on demand from a cellphone and directed to a printer for printing locally. All users will need to download text is a cellphone, an access code, and a local printer. More details are available in the article. Seems to have possibilities for overcoming some of the Internet infrastructure issues in developing economies. There's lots of cellphones available there.
