The donation model will only work with software. Where you may need bug fixes, extensions, add-ons, individual solutions. Software usually never is finished. So users better donate to get the next job done ...
A novel is finished as soon as it's out. What should any reader pay for? Additional chapters, different endings, a "director's cut" version? Maybe for a personalized version, but this just works for books as gifts.
Donations to programmers is a different kind of payment.
Donations to authors is a sympathetic act.
