the same key traits they do in the comics shop: scarcity and a high cost

Comics on the iPad, sadly, bear the same key traits they do in the comics shop: scarcity and a high cost.While searching for superior options I stumbled across details about Marvel's Digital Comics Unlimited service, a project launched before the publisher sold comics on the iPad. Their Unlimited plan lets people pay a monthly subscription ($10) for access to more than a thousand comics. You have to run it in a web browser. The iPad has a replica Omega 3221.30 Men's Watch web browser! … The iPad's web browser is not compatible with the service. Too bad. That sounds like the perfect comics digital comics service to me, and it won't run on my perfect digital comics device.I've yet to find a way to throw an iPad comic out. This bugs me because of what it implies.

I've recounted many things I find odd with comics on the iPad, but let me leave you with what I think is the oddest: I've yet to find a way to throw an iPad comic out. This bugs me, because of what it implies.I downloaded a comic called Chew that I'd heard good things about. It's about a guy who can read the minds of the beings replica Omega 3506.31 Men's Watch whose meat he eats; and it's set in an America where chicken is illegal. It's a good set-up, but I didn't love the comic. I won't buy the next issues and I don't feel the need to keep the current one. So I deleted it from my iPad. No, I tried to delete it from my iPad. The Comics app lets me delete the downloaded contents of the comic, but it keeps a copy of the cover and description of the first issue in the only-alphabetical “my comics” section on my app.

I can't figure out why they won't let me scrub the listing for the comic from my iPad, as I would delete a downloaded song or movie bought through iTunes. Perhaps it reflects a view of comics readers I've assumed publishers of comics have, a replica Omega 3577.50 Men's Watch view that doesn't describe me: the hoarder, the collector. Not me. I'm a readerics publishers sell comics in real shops, and they sell many of them as collectibles. They release a new issue of Batman with two covers, assuming some people will be enticed to invest in the rare variant. I love that digital comics can defy that system.
