Bwah, why is the stuff you don't pay for so much more customer friendly, that can't be good for business.
Agreed. My difficulty with Dark Horse is they really don't take the time with their app. It's horrible. But they have some good stuff. Wish the art for the Buffy comics were better, I may have been less annoyed if they were - I'm admittedly very picky about art. For me - comics are 100% art. The writing is secondary. I've discovered the people who still love the comics...are less picky about the art. Or have different taste. By the way - I love your icon, always have. Great art.
I-Pad is perfect for reading fic online, although longer pieces are awesome to download and transform into kindle format. I was think about offering to do it for several writers I love, so they can post the downloads on their journals. But I'm not sure they'd be interested, because if people read it outside a browser they are less inclined to comment, especially on multiple parts.
Nautibitz has made the mistake of putting hers in PDF - its actually better if you can convert to rich text then to Kindle - that way you can change the size of the lettering so you can actually see it. I tried to transfer a PDF of hers - and it was teeny tiny print, I gave up finally.
Unfortunately the Buffy comics killed my interest in Buffy fan-fic...I don't know why.
There is an app called Cloud reader for the I-pad which is superlovely for comics. it can open CBS, CBZ files that you can put on via cable or dropbox. Superhandy. I wish the kindle could deal with more formats, it would be perfect for Manga and other small format black and white stuff.
Thank you! Found it and grabbed. I discovered there are a few free Manga style Harlequinn romance novels believe it or not...very odd. Manga actually does go the gamut.
