      Nahh, it still cost a multiple of the initial asking price.

      China does have smart libraries strewn about the place, especially in cities with low income, that are located along city streets and parks, which provide free Wi-Fi, charging and air conditioning. You can borrow books with an app for almost free (albeit with a required deposit that gets charged if you don’t return it)
