I think putting whole books online is stupid! If you are going to pay for a book you might as well just go buy the actual book. I believe that Google is just trying to make money. Like the video said Google is creating a monopoly, all they want is money. Hypothetically speaking if I wrote a book, I would want people to buy my book at the bookstore, and not off the computer. Google is taking away money from the author. It’s not right! Books are to be left in the library and printed on paper. It should not be read off of the internet! I agree with everything that the article posted below.

I agree with what your saying but dont you think that it will help students righr now if the books are free? They will eventually start charging people later on, but for right now its a good oppertunity to get free access to a book on your computer.
ReplyDeleteNo one would buy the actual books anymore, that right. Maybe they can’t make people that read book online pay for what book that they had read.
ReplyDeleteI THINK ITS COOL TO READ BOOKS ONLINE INSTEAD OF FLIPPING THROUGH 10000 PAGES GREAT IDEA
ReplyDeletei agree with kelly that it cool to read online cause u dont have to spend half your time at the library looking for while on the internet it only takes a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteI completly agree with what your saying. They're doing nothing but becoming theives all because they want to find a new way of getting money since no-one is buying any of their other stuff anymore.
