Well, post digital era we still buy/rent games, video and music. I don't see why something similar couldn't be done, pay monthly and you can read whatever your want, and what you read depends on where the money from your subscription goes. And as distribution costs are lower, higher % of it should go to the writers. Hell, amazon could just do that, except of course they wouldn't give a fair cut... At zero cost to try new authors it could possibly be a good way for more niche stuff, you can just page thru any book that you want with no cost but time > What do you expect them to do? Force users to sign up for a weekly subscription and email out individually DRMed copies of the chapters each week? There is actually one guy doing it on patreon but he already have YT audience for music gear reviews (book is about electronic music ideas and tips). So it is possible, just kinda hard as you already need to have publicity.
