It's kinda hard to convince people to pay money for something that has no value.

Uh huh. So the reason why people buy paper books is so they can resell them when done reading. Right.
Personally, I always found the "value" to be in the reading itself, and bought books I wanted to read. I generally
don't resell mine. If I wind up with books I don't want (usually, dupes), I
give them away to deserving homes.
You're making a couple of questionable assumptions, one of which appears to be that everyone else shares your motivations and viewpoints. That's almost
never true, regardless of what values of "you", "motivations", and "viewpoints" are substituted.
