Hard time donating

speakingtohe · 05-21-2010, 09:53 PM

I had a hard time donating to Calibre, probably due to lack of patience or intelligence on my part.
Could not do it from the calibre main page donate to Calibre thing. Would not take my address.
I kept selecting Canada but all I got were US States etc.
Eventually tried just going to PayPal.ca and that worked.
I rarely use payPal so my account probably lapses or something.
Still I think it should be a bit easier for non US citizens to donate from your POV especially.

That said Calibre does seem to get better and better

Hmm I'm sorry you had a hard time. About 45% of calibre donations come from non-US locations (about 120 countries in total).

Unfortunately, I know of no service that works better than Paypal globally, so we're stuck with it for the moment.

And thanks for the donation!
