Amazon is evil. Just ask their incredibly high number of injured workers.

So where are people going to get their digital comics from now? Isn't Kindle the only way unless you fly the Jolly Roger?
Incidentally, I hear Kindle's image files are lower quality than Comixology's were - will be interesting to see if that affects the kaizoku!Appreciation Thread Indexes

Is there really no other alternative other than piracy? No wonder they're allowed to get away with this.

I think I've only ever ordered a couple comics from them, thankfully.

Ive never read or bought a digital comic but doesnt it seem reasonable that amazon will just fix all these concerns??

Crap. I've bought a lot of TBPs from them over the years when they had some really good sales. And some years back Marvel discontinued their app and allowed your digital codes in the comics to be read in Comixology's reader, which was much better anyway. Oh well, I still subscribe to Marvel Unlimited but now I wonder if Marvel will continue to maintain that.

This part sucks for us outside the US:
And the interface is not intuitive as I'm checking it.The new changes have comics creators meeting the service half way as well. British artist Jamie McKelvie flagged to his followers on Twitter that under Amazon’s new changes, series subscriptions — in which digital comics are automatically purchased upon release — will only be available to Comixology users based in the U.S.. Users outside the U.S. will have their existing subscriptions switched off automatically, apparently permanently.Human Torch/Fantastic Four/She-Hulk/Disney Big Hero 6 /Tangled/G.I.

I've bought a whole bunch of trades on Comixology. This really sucks.

This affects ALL publishers, so it makes sense that he posted this in both the Marvel and DC sections. Originally Posted by Lee Stone
