The best epub add-ons for Firefox needs your help.
Michael Volz, the developer of the EpubReader Add-On for Firefox, launched a KS campaign last week to raise funds so he could redevelop the extension and keep it online.
As he explained on Kickstarter:
Firefox announced massive changes to the Firefox Add-on interface. The result will be, that EPUBReader won't work any longer in a few months. To avoid this, it's necessary to rewrite EPUBReader almost completely. As EPUBReader is a very complex Add-on, the effort to do this is high.
I'm working as a freelance software developer. So the fundraiser is run to allow me the full-time work on the needed development.
You can back the campaign on Kickstarter.
Volz set a goal of 25,000 euros and has so far raised about 60%.
Will you help him get the rest of the way?

He is doing an all-or-nothing Kickstarter and if he doesn’t get all the money he will be paid what did get donated and do nothing. What’s wrong with this picture?
