A lot of these are taken a bit out of context - Miss Bingley is not meant to be an admirable, intelligent woman. Right after her quote about the books, she tosses it aside and sighs in boredom - she said that line to get a man's attention (unsuccessfully) ... reinforcing Elizabeth as a really unique and examplary woman. I do love Jane Austen so much though - hence why I'm on this page of course!
