They were burning books because Hitler was pissed the best and most popular authors were Jewish. Hitler and the Nazis were trying to limit Jewish influence.

Most of these things started as public grievances which were then picked up by the Nazi government turned into anti Jewish policies.

Much like how mass extermination actually started with a letter from the father of a disabled child asking permission to end their child's life.
