Amazon buys Comixology

Hopefully this means some more money can be put towards improving some quality of life features. It annoys me on the tablet how you have to go through the store and look up something you've bought to download it...there's no library tab.

Okay thought I was insane for that

Though they have some of your comics not all of them

As if I remember everything I tried to buy!

[Vampyr]

Yeah it's very annoying.

I'm also hopeful that my prime membership will bring some kind of discount.

I'm 20 issues behind on Superior Spider-Man right now - that's $80 to catch up!

Well who's fault is it you got 20 issues behind!

That's almost the entire run.. its only on issue 30

I lost my tablet for a while.

Also, Superior picks up right where Amazing left off. It sounds less bad to say I'm 20 issues behind out of 730. :P

Well true

You said were behind on Superior

Which is just 30 issues so far

Not 20 issues behind on Spider-man :P

I've only bought my own comics from comixology... (SHAMELESS PLUG: Crossed Wires #3 comes out April 16th)

Either of you ever buy digital comics from Amazon before? Wondering how the kindle versions compare. (SHAMELESS PLUG: Also available on Kindle)

[Vampyr]

Nope, never have, I don't have a kindle (I'm a Nook person...a rare breed.)

I'll check out your comics. Are you drawing again, or are you doing some writing?

[Teuthida]

Got myself a Nook fairly recently. About the simplest model. Perfect for reading books, and not much else. I really like it.

Those comics are actually quite old even though they're coming out now. The the majority of this last one was done in early 2012.

I'm drawing again, though dunno if will ever do any more comic books. Too much work for so little pay and with a busted hand...yeah. Looking into starting a webcomic.

I am writing a good deal. Started two novels, but I doubt will finish either. Mostly been writing comedic skits that would probably work best acted out, but going to see about turning them into short comics.

[BreakABone]

Well that was quick

Already destroyed one of the perks of the app
You can only purchase comics via their website now!

[Teuthida]

...didn't know there was another way.

[Vampyr]

I'm on an android tablet - the new version of that app still supports in-app purchases, and now has a shopping cart feature. I think they must have stopped supporting it on iOS because Apple takes a 30% cut of all sales.

It also has a purchases tab so you can actually see what you own.

Oh yeah

After looked into it
We totally got the best of the deal!

And on top of that, a free $5 to spend

Yep, going to spend mine on Batman #30 and get $1 off ASM #1 when it comes out.
