Yup. I'm willing to pay for what a data transfer should cost; I'm not willing to pay a price equal to the cost of a printed hardcover when all I'm getting is a few hundred Kb of data. Publishers need to better adjust their pricing models for the differing types of "books" - hardcover, trade, mass market, ebook, audiobook. If authors would set up PayPal accounts or whatever where folks could send money, I think it would be a smart idea on their part; not to mention it cuts out their middleman.

Sorry I should have specified contribute a user decided amount in the original post.
I have no problem with the user willing to pay only what they can afford or being congenialty thrifty.
Just curious on whether people would pay what to them amounts to a fair price or those who would, if given a chance and a little bit of jam, be out there stealing pension checks from mailboxes and blaming the check recipients for sleeping in and giving them the opportunity.
