I would gladly market/promote and edit works by my favorite authors in exchange for reading their work. Perhaps I would even pay for their texts, usually this would require the freedom to access and distribute their work without copyright restrictions...
The way most of you describe timebanks makes it sound like money. I view timebanks as just a bit of bookkeeping to keep things organized. It does require a bit of a communistic/socialist/anarchic mindset to see timebanks working on a large scale.
It's sort of like a free market where only those who believe in freedom can participate. Meaning no exploitation.
