April 23rd was World Book and Copyright Day

From UNESCO:

Cellphones have made books more accessible than ever before in developing nations. In a world where 10% of adults can't read or write, mobile technologies hold the promise to combating the scourge of illiteracy, and thus improving lives everywhere.
