Awsome, I would buy it if my USB ports still worked. Off topic for a bit, does anyone know why my ports no longer get supplied power?

Make sure you install the usb driver and mobo driver for your motherboard, otherwise your computer will not recognize it.

Quite simply, an absolutely brilliant promotion. Here's your manga, and now you can keep it on the memory stick, away from the computer!

While an interesting idea, I'm curious as to how they will make these files accessable enough to work on most computers will still implementing copy protection. I see a lot of opportunity for abuse.

how much are these emanga expected to be priced at?
this is a great idea, as you can put a lot more alot more into one of these than you could a paperback. i don't think it will catch on though. some people just like their manga the old fashioned way, not to mention a lot of people are already getting their emanga from scanlation groups.

This is great news. Soon, I bet USB sticks will come bundled with all sorts of things!
