I like the way Bandcamp works (don't want to talk about the business model of their new owner, just about the service they offer in general): bandcamp nags me to pay after spending a decent amount of time on sth. I could use an alternative client app and never pay, but I do not.
I love digital libraries for the fact that I am able to quickly look into a book without going through some tiresome payment and DRM stages only to discover that I wasted money. Also I like that I can buy hardcopies (even limited ones) . Further I can support creatoes with subscriptions.
To add to that Bandcamp triggered quite a few archiving efforts and releases of remastered obscure music. Artists like atom TM are releasing there whole back catalogue easily accessible...

I really like the Amazon Prime model: author are payed depending on the number of pages read. They get something like $4 to $5 per 1000 pages read.

Amusing, never heard of it. And quite honest IMO.
Here’s how I see it: https://blog.danieljanus.pl/2022/09/24/paying-for-books/
