All books online

[Olivia]

Do you think all of the world’s books should be on the Internet?

Should they be accessible for free?

Why or why not?

Yes for education purposes, but I still love the tactile feel of a book in my hands.

I think people would stop writing books if they were all free. Authors wouldn't make any money from their hard work and would be less motivated to write anything.

Agree there.

I wouldn’t want them online. I like reading books like real ones. Plus internet outages? Bye books!

I think if they did upload all books to the internet, real ones would still exist. Nobody says we can't have both.

All of them being online is not a big deal. It is something that should be done. I don't think it will be for free since doing so will deny the authors the right to make money from those books.

How about all the authors who are dead and gone, their books can be up for free.

True.
