I think that it could be done with books in the cloud. Google is probably working on that.

Most webcomics have ads on the site. You read the comic for free and maybe buy a T-shirt or a plushy or the art-book, and there are also links to other comics that you might like.
Also I see that many have a bad opinion about ads but the truth is that people post ads on YouTube because they like the ads or they are making fun of how a product is advertised in another country.
