If the website required the reader to have some skin in the game, and then offered a sliding scale of refunds depending on how much you liked the book, I imagine that fewer people would go to the effort to beat the system.
That would probably work very well.

Most people place a value on their own time(even if not on the authors time) and would probably not bother taking the time to request a refund if they did in fact enjoy the book. Especially if the optional refund was coupled with a price the market has shown to be reasonable in the first place.
