There are books where the author doesn't make any money. These are the books that no one wants to read. The books that people actually want to read are the ones are the ones most worth encouraging.
You don't want those books that no one wants to read. There are more free books - both public domain and those offered by the author for free - than you could possibly read in a lifetime.
Live your values and read those offered for free.
But you don't want them. You want the ones where the author can devote their full time to writing because they make a living from it. But you can't have those books if the author can't make a living from them. Books written by hobbyists in their spare time are numerous. If you had your way, these would be the only books available.

Logic doesn't lock you into anything. It frees you from the chains of illogic. Without logic, there is no thought.
