Free e-Books and the Destruction of the Future

A couple of weeks ago, my pastor said that if someone hands you something that's free, it's usually a good thing--unless it's a puppy. There's no such thing as a free puppy. Since you don't have to clean up after free e-Books and they don't incessantly make high-pitched noises, they must be a good thing.
So, now that I have logically come to the conclusion that free e-Books (am I typing that correctly--is the b supposed to be capitalized?) are a good thing, I guess this post is done. Yes, good--free e-Books are good. That is all there is to it...

...But wait. What if real books are rendered extinct by the existence of e-Books. Then free e-Books would be a very bad thing. I see a future where fire men do not put out fires, but rather they burn books. Books just take up space and collect dust anyway, right? Everyone (the people of the future that is) will be forced to read only e-Books. You could be arrested for possessing real books. That's the future and it's all because of free downloadable e-Books.
Free e-Books are obviously an evil plot to rid the world of everything that is noble and good.

In answer to the prompts, I was able to find free downloadable e-Books of some of the books that I bought for school last semester. That's kind of lame. See, there's a difference between buying books that you want to own and buying books that you are forced to buy for a class. It was pretty easy, too! Besides the fact that free e-Books are part of a conspiracy to take over the world, I think they're a great tool for students (literature students like myself) who are forced to (I mean "get to") read the classics. Yay for not having to buy overpriced books that you don't ever want and they only give you a dollar for at the book buy-back. Boo for the destruction of real books.
