The reading materials that mattered were readily available.
There was a Torah scroll in every synagogue, and the ones in large towns probably had the complete Tanakh.
The NT epistles were the internet forums of the day, discussing the scrolls and their application.
Nonsense, readily available, I think not....you certainly couldn't take the scrolls out of the synagogue, you had nothing at home to learn or practice reading, if you lived in a town of 2,000 people, how long was the line to read the scrolls????
When we were in first grade learning to read....the words were on the blackboard, we had our own books....remember Dick and Jane...Spot and Puff.....they didn't. They had NO PERSONAL reading material at all. Their news came from a town crier....who could read, and their correspondence was handled by a scribe, who also could read....
