The biggest aspect to consider here is that Amazon already sells digital comics that are usable on Kindles and in Kindle apps. I don't imagine that feature going away, in the place of Amazon promoting the use a separate Comixology app.
Which makes me inclined to believe that Comixology will be phased out, and its features incorporated into the Kindle comics features.
- jonlucc 13y agoWhy not the other direction? I think Comixology has a bigger backing, so they could merge their stuff to Comixology. This might be similar to how they run IMDB or Zappos.
- hrktb 13y agoI downloaded the Comixology app just to try. And I don't think the Comixology way of thinking for their app works for non american comics. Japanese comics can't be viewed bubble by bubble, that would be just a horrible experience, and there doesn't seem to be two-pages side by side display handling, or right to left page order option either. The Kindle handles this kind of things gracefully. BTW they really should have something free in their store or directly in the app, even an illustrated guide of how to use the app, just to give an idea of the experience. No one asks their users to buy 5~10$ content just to see if the app is comfortable to use.

- king_jester 13y agoThe app does support two page reading and right to left books, but it has a limited selection of those kinds of books.
