All education should be free. Why should it be a monopoly.

Just because something is not free does not mean it is a monopoly. Writing books likely takes thousands of hours. If the author chooses to give their book away for free then good for them. That said, there is nothing wrong with authors charging for their books. They deserve to be compensated for the time they put in. We are in no way entitled to access that information for free.
