It should be a crime to burn any books, Especially now that the Internet has become so powerful. Thye should always be preserved no mater what .
Today it is being seen the great rewriting of history on the web and beyond by almost every group on the planet that has an agenda.
And the sad fact that more people are getting their information on the "Net" with out checking the facts for truth or legitimately of the source. And in time I think there will be big trouble because of it.
E-readers are great for their portability and having the power to have a library fit into ones pocket, but that should not be an excuse to do away with a hard copy book.
It will be a sad day if and when the publishing world goes totally digital.
No book should be burned, but if they incite anger they should be understood and be countered with fact and not burial or burning.
