Any time I've gotten a book from the library that I've absolutely loved, I eventually wind up purchasing it for my own library. Unlike the piracy method of trying something out before buying it, you don't have a copy of it when you borrow it from the library as it has to go back. If you've pirated a comic or music or movie or whatever online, you still have a copy you can read, watch, listen to, just not a physical copy (unless of course you burn a copy of the movie or music).
You know most book stores these days have chairs where you can sit and read as long as you wish without ever actually buying anything so it's not just libraries that allow free reading anymore.
And as far as royalties go, with the used market absolutely no royalties are paid out for the second, third, etc time something is sold, which is why game companies hate places like Gamestop.
