We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
If you don’t like lugging around a bunch of manga this will probably make you happy and if you don’t own a Kindle it will make you want to purchase one. Why would you want a Kindle? Viz has just put it’s entire manga catalog onto Amazon’s Kindle Store. So know when you purchase a volume you have the choice of getting a physical or digital format. Be aware that Viz has also raised their pricing across the board to $6.99 per volume know.
IDW has announced that it has reached an agreement with Amazon to start releasing it’s graphic novels on the Kindle Fire. Only ten are available at this time, some of the titles are: Locke & Key, Vol. 1; Last Unicorn; and Parker: Hunter. Use the link below to get the other titles.
Marvel has developed an Android App for it’s digital comics accounts, run through comiXology. This move was possibly centered around Amazon’s Kindle Fire, which runs with Android tech.
Kindle is going to a color format. This is probably in answer to the iPad and Color Nook. Amazon has upped the game by have exclusive content for graphic novel readers though. They have made a deal with DC Comics that the will have 100 exclusive graphic novel titles. One of the titles to catch most readers attention is Watchmen. This is sure to cause a little bit of dust in the comic community. If a person already has an iPad will they fill pressured pick up a Kindle Fire, because of the exclusive content, even if they don’t really want a Kindle Fire? Thanks to ICv2 for the story.
