> It takes zero effort to keep the book available
It isn’t about the effort. This is the same thing people say about out of print video games, too.
It isn’t about difficulty, it is about incentives. They want you to buy new books and video games, and if you are reading/playing old free ones, that is reduced demand for what they are selling. Why would they want to help you satisfy your need for free?
