Should be Digitize Books?

I think that there are definitely a lot of pros and cons when it comes to digitizing books. If every book ever published was available for free on the web, how would the authors benefit from that? Their books wouldn’t be bought, meaning there would be no income for them. The good side from having books digitized would be that millions of trees would be saved. Well all know that books are made from trees and thousands of books are published each year. The amount of trees that won’t have to be cut down will be very high. I think that if books are digitized, but we have to pay for them then by all means digitize books. Yes, it would be the same as going to a bookstore, because we would still have to pay for it, but we would have easier access to them and paper won’t be wasted. The authors will still profit from their books and everyone will benefit from it.
