If you have enjoyed this book without purchasing it and would like to thank the author you can do so here
(link to paypal etc.)

That's the sort of thing I've been thinking of, but probably at the end rather than the beginning. The only real danger would be that it would let people who didn't already know they could get them for free that they could have saved themselves a bit of money.
I think the real solution is to price ebooks at 2nd hand paperback levels. Anyone who will spend time looking for a free copy just to save that much was never going to buy it anyway. Or if you can attract advertisers, make your money that way.
