Trouble trying to donate to Calibre

taspool · 02-21-2009, 06:23 PM

Usually I don't have trouble spending money, but donating to Calibre is proving a problem for me.

After seeing what an excellent program it is, and getting some help and advice on problems from other users and a developer ("user_none"), I've been trying to donate, without success. If I click on the donate icon in the program or taskbar link, then after a couple of steps it takes me to my paypal logon in Firefox, and then Firefox crashes whilst logging on. If I log onto paypal first, I can get in okay without Firefox crashing, but there is no apparent link to which money can be sent.

Pleas help me give you some money.

try the link on http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net (it's a little orange button in the top right corner)

kovid... why not just give use your paypal account address here. You could obfuscate it with http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/obfuscator.php

A good idea

My paypal email is

kovid at kovidgoyal. net

Though I suspect taspool has a problem using paypal with his browser

Yes, worked fine from there. I haven't previously had trouble with paypal in this fashion, but obviously something on my pc disagreed with he program link.

Anyway, happy to donate, and I look forward to seeing the success of Calibre grow in the future.

Regards, Greg
