Richard, congrats on your net income, honestly! I tried this some time ago with a series of mine, 25 episodes totalling in more than 300.000 downloads by now.
Donations response? Zero. Zip. Zilch. None.
Maybe this is a cultural attitude. I'm from Germany, and usually Germans tend to treat free stuff either
a) if it's free, the author already seems to have enough money. So why pay him?
b) if it's free, it can't be good. Good things aren't for free.
c) if you want to give it away for free, suit yourself. When will the next episode be online?
This was two or three years back, before the rising of eInk readers. So maybe the situation has changed. But I doubt it.
Again, thanks for your insights.
