People could own and read their books.

The printing press made books much cheaper and faster to produce, so more people could buy them, literacy and learning spread, and ideas of the Renaissance circulated widely. The other choices are inaccurate — it didn’t make people write more by hand or replace handwritten letters, nor was its main effect enabling personal message-sending.
