That would destroy reader base.
Crunchyrolly can't do full paywall like Netflix either because many anime fans will just turn to piracy. Even Netflix exclusive shows are highly pirated.
Spotify is doing well with freemium.
Free will gain more users. Some of them will convert into paid.
Pandora Radio is also freemium.

You cant compare music streaming subscription to movie or ebooks like media. As music has a high replay consumption where as books, movies and tv shows etc people mostly consume once so freemium model for these is harder to sell to publishers and content makers.
