I don't think it is "wrong" to reward writers for their work. I always have and still do buy lots of books. I simply also don't buy lots of books. (And, really, if the only way I had to access books was to buy them, no big deal. It is being cut off from my Asian movies and TV shows that never have and never will show up in official subbed US releases that would "hurt" me.)

So you take pleasure from a great book but you don't think the author deserves to eat???

The bulk of authors I read are full-time career scientists who write fiction or non-fiction "on the side" because they want to. They have "day jobs."
