Agreed.
They are developing new inks now that are pleasing for your eyes, lets keep a eye out for the new i-tablet, its suppose to be the ultimate comic book reader,It will make you want to read comics online(so they say).
Mythical Apple iTablet to be Ultimate Comic Book Reader?
So long as humanity has the senses of "touch" and "smell", "digital stuff" is not going to replace the real thing permanently, no matter what it is.
I dunno I read all my newspapers/text books online and never buy a newspaper at the store anymore. super hero comic books seem to be the last holdout, even manga is making progress online.It sure does make for good discussion.
Not talking about newspapers, as noted previously ("printed fiction.")
Yes I did say "no matter what it is", but I was referring to the big picture, not the various forms of print.
I staddle the line on both of your opinions. I don't think digital comics/books will ever completely replace physical printed copies, BUT I do think very strongly that they will be a great compliment.
I have said MANY times on these boards that I cannot wait for a digital platform that all publishers will support. Once device comes out, I will definately jump on. Many of the books that I get copies of today will fall by the wayside for digital copies. It will be cheaper to buy more copies and vastly easier to store.
That doesn't mean I'm going to stop buying physical copies all together. I am one of the comic book "nerds" that love to both read and collect comics. For the titles I collect, I will definately still be purchasing physical copies, but again, why waste extra money and space on physical copies of books that I purchase only to read? :shrug:
