I have downloaded many free books. Most I haven't even seen a "donation" link.
IMHO- when a author puts out an ebook for free download then they should anticipate a lot of people downloading it. If they put up a link for donation, sure they may get some, but it shouldn't be expected and it shouldn't definitely be demanded- it is a suggestion. If you want money for each download, make it a pay ebook and not free
Now, there are a feww books that I have read that I plan on making donations to the author because I enjoyed their stories. I just hope they aren't sitting around calling me a thief because I downloaded their book for free, as it was offered, and haven't gotten around to making a donation, YET
It would help greatly if at the end of the book would be a page with information on how to make a donation because sometimes I forget where I even downloaded the book from
