In what fantasy world do we think people will just write books for free? Or haven written them, they will "publish" the books. It takes time and money to put one's books "out there"...where ever this "there" will be. Remember that Book service that everyone loved that just closed down? It wouldn't close down if it was making money.
Most people not making money from books doesn't mean "there is no value to having a book making profession". Most people who try to make a restaurant a successful business fail too. Shall we do without restaurants?
Where does this opinion that someone should spend creative effort....and everyone gets to just copy it come from?
It's not yours just because you exist. Just because the technology exists to make a copy...doesn't mean you should be able to.
