Android Tablets are now $99 vs. iPads $499. These are big enough to enjoy comics & cheaper than its paper copy, $1.99 vs. $3.99. Disney shareholder Steve Jobs (Apple) was behind buying Marvel to get more people into iPad + comics...
iPad's secret weapon: Marvel Comics? - Big Tech - Fortune Tech 6 months after its debut, 6 million iPads sold. Now comes Android Tablets. At just $99 you can afford an android tablet - Google Search Not cheap enough? E-Readers are selling for $89. Will Android, e-Readers, and iPad; help comics / Joe make a comeback among fans old & new?

I use my Droid 2 to read comics. I still go to the shop and get my favorites like GI Joes and Green Lantern and just download everthing else like the stuff I would never actually be able to buy. But how else would I be able to get all 700 issues of Batman and Superman?

I had a similar discussion with my local comic shop. I hope to see them around in 5 years time. The publishers are late to the game and have done nothing to stop piracy. Look to the music industry and see the devastation. Part of the problem is us! Nerds. We're cheap and tech savvy. Why pay if you can download torrents for free. I'm old school. I still like printed comics, but not he inflated prices.

= QFT I too "thumb" through issues on my Droid, but nothing compares to picking up a book at my local shop. |

For the sake of space and investment, I love the idea of being able to download comics and books at a cheaper price to view on a hand held reader/viewer.
My wife won an ipad from work a few months ago that she loves, I have never used it because I am always on the desktop computer anyway. But I just may have to get me one of the Android versions. I have an Android phone and love it. I especially love not being "locked in" to Apple products.
