I wish more authors accepted donations. I read a ton of books from my library, and I'm happy to give them some money every now and then, but I don't really want to have the actual book. Publishers take so much of they money, that I often just end up not bothering.

I agree wholeheartedly. Maybe there’s an alternative funding model for authors, and artists generally, that could be imagined and built. I’d be surprised if there’s not already some great ideas floating out there; but if there are, I don’t know them.
