I considered adding your response but felt that reading was implied by the acquisition of a book. Although I must admit to knowing of those who purchase books because of a particular design, perhaps thinking of how that book will look in their home, placed on a coffee table.
Maybe the entire question needs to be reformulated.

I answered that way, because, that really is the only reason why I purchase books. At the risk of sounding spoiled or callous, contributing to the author has never really crossed my mind, other than the purchase of subsequent books.
If I really like a particular story I may go ahead and purchase it in multiple formats, i.e. e-book & paperback.
Also, like Anthem, I feel that there are many free things that have great value, including books.
