In fact I just saw a crowd funded cinema movie, and it ended with about 
five minutes of names of (different level) funders. So it might not be a 
problem adding one or four or twenty pages of such a names list (I think 
one or two pages is realistic). That'd mean the "hug" for, say, 2€ and 
the next level with 10€ but already a visible place in a printed reference.

That'd be too much diversity too. So maybe I'd consider raising the price.

I thought of possibly treating extreme problems. But definitely not 
providing a printable solution. But of course the calculation is that we 
will have the transposition for later use.

I don't think so. Having it printed on our nice paper is something we 
should be proud of. The PDF would be a nice bonus only.

Yes.

Good idea.

I don't think multiple copies will be of siginificant interest for many.

OK. This is slightly risky because anybody can click and buy a perk. But 
we can of course make a generic perk and strongly refer to the main 
description where we make concrete suggestions.
