hi, i'm new here too! you're the first person i see that's mentioned calibre and i have a calibre question: how is calibre funded? is it solely by the paypal donation box or is there some other source? if the former, does that bring in enough to keep such an extensive program afloat? how much would be a typical donation?

i realize you don't know the answer to these, but somebody might and i can't seem to find out by cursory googling. there *is* a CALIBRE program funded by the EU that i found, but i can't tell by reading the linked paper whether the ebooks calibre is part of it or not...

i think calibre is fantastic and use it a lot. i feel i should donate but don't have much money. I always see those paypal donate buttons, but there never seems to be any further info on them; i think they'd be much more successful if there were some context and people had some clue what would be effective but not stupid, you know? anyway, thanks for the place for my first forum post!
