Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between free and donation-based access?

Free downloads are generated on-demand from our archive and are functional but unedited. Supporters who make a voluntary donation receive the complete, professionally edited PDF + EPUB archive — hundreds of hours of careful editing in one file.

How do I get the complete PDF after donating?

After your donation is processed via Buy Me a Coffee, you will receive an email with download links immediately. The links remain active for 30 days, and you can re-download the files as we release updates.

Are the free downloads really free?

Yes. Single letters and era bundles are 100% free to download. No donation required. Warren Buffett's shareholder letters are in the public domain — we provide free downloads as a service to the investment community.

What format are the files?

The supporter edition includes both PDF (best for printing and desktop reading) and EPUB (best for Kindle, iPad, and e-readers). Free individual downloads are also available in both formats.

How are the files generated?

Free downloads are generated directly in your browser using letter content from our archive. The supporter edition is a pre-edited, professionally formatted file delivered after donation.

Do you offer updates when new letters are released?

Yes. Berkshire Hathaway publishes a new letter each year (usually in February). If you donated for the Complete PDF, you will receive the updated file free of charge — just email us with your donation receipt.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

No. This is a voluntary contribution to support the project, not a registered charity. You receive the edited PDF + EPUB as a token of appreciation, not as a purchased product.
