I've been using reading a great book as motivation for years. When I'm really into a book, after I wake up, I can't wait to start reading it and want to read it all day long. I simply tell myself that I can't start reading the book until I get on the StairMaster. Once I'm on, I can read all day if I want, but not before. My Sony 600 is my StairMaster dedicated reader. I keep it on the reading rack and a Mighty Bright Flex2 clipped on as well.
It's great motivation. It's when I just start a new book and not yet engrossed in it that it's less affective. If it's a series, like Stieg Larsson's Millenium series, that usually helps me warmed up a little faster.
