I imagine the idea of donating copies to libraries is to give people a bridge to cross from the land of existing concepts to the land of open source.
The idea of a copying machine is a good one. Libraries are already comfortable with photocopiers. I only have two suggestions both involve making sure the system is closed. The blanks, like blank paper in a photocopier, form part of the system to guarrante quality. And, second, the images on the system are the only ones that can be copied. This avoids the potental of people using it to copy other peoples not-approved-for-copy material. I think this was what you were saying anyway I'm just stating it explicitly.
