Accept donations
« on: November 05, 2010, 03:58:16 PM »

Well, I think it could be a good Idea that the site offers the chance to donate some money; they could be many reasons why people will like to donate… Here is mine:

I have tried to buy the Audio books form Amazon or Audible however they will not ship or allow download them to my country. The funny thing is that in my country they are bringing only translated books, no original version or audio books. So I was forced to look for a more creative solution in the P2P area… Therefore, I am willing to donate what I have not been able to spend.

Best regards to all.

BTW Not sure if Jim will ever read this but.... keep the good job! and do not “kill” Harry for good... from another 10 books :)

I always find it pleasantly surprising to find such an honest person out there...

me being penguin I take it?

It makes sense that he would associate the books with JB rather than Penguin, and this is the only avenue he can find to attempt to rectify what he sees as doing JB a wrong.

I read last week about people in the UK on Amazon who bought Side Jobs in bulk to save on shipping and then sold the extra copies on ebay to others in the UK so that they can get it without having to pay so much to have it shipped across the pond.  Hopefully this person can find something similar.  Otherwise there are your other suggestions.

But yah, this site is actually run by one of Jim Butcher's personal friends, and any proceeds it generated wouldn't exactly go to Penguin.
