Now if they could make their app available in Canada I'd have reason to be excited -.-

Reading manga on the cell phone is a terrible experience, and I'm speaking as someone who uses my cell phone to do nearly everything.

Not to mention the prices aren't near cheap enough to justify paying for a few megs that the company could easily snatch away from you whenever they want.

I'll be thankful when it becomes available for my android.
Until then, these prices won't concern me. |

Seconded. The screen is far too small to make reading comics enjoyable. |

I read manga from time to time on my iPad, but I still prefer print.

The iPad is big enough for manga though. |

Reading on iPad is convenient and I can do it whenever I'm free.

I have no problem with reading comics on my iPod touch, and prices for these digital editions are inline with Viz's.
There are a few problems with the app its self though. Nothing major, but a little annoying. The double tap zoom zooms in too close, the iOS top bar shows making a gap between the pages and the screen, 2 page spreads don't seamlessly connect. It can however go into landscape mode, but double tapping in and out causes it to zoom completely out. A few minor problems but nothing bad. And having more manga digitally (legally) is always good. |

I read books on my iPhone. I live it; it's like a library in my pocket (well, purse) . But it's just not a good platform for manga, at least not in its traditional format. Maybe it's good for those 4-koma stuff. |
