Yet another DRM-filled money grab. If I owned the ebooks I purchased, without DRM, I’d happily buy ebooks. Until then I buy physical copies.

For real, unless there's a discount or it's DRM-free I'm probably just going to buy the print version since it usually costs about the same. I'm not going to pay full price or very close for licensing a manga on an app that could very well shutdown and make it a pain to keep accessing it.
