But if you do not pay you will not be able to read more books by the author. The idea is also that if you think the book is crap you do not pay anything. So then the problem is shifted how to bootstrap a writing career and one possibility as you point out is to use libraries for that.
Readers mindset have to be changed and problem like forgetting to pay is probably only a problem when setting up the new system.
